@esze.e: I love poached chicken and prefer it over roast chicken (wish I could say I like it more than fried chicken). Problem is you absolutely need to use high quality chicken since you can’t hide behind any caramelization or heavy seasonings. Something about the slippery skin and the light bounce of gelatin with the unadulterated chicken flavor that sets this preparation apart. When I first had wen chang G in hainan it really blew my mind.
If a white person made this exact same video the comments would just be full of people asking where the seasoning is and I find that both tragic and hilarious

Hainanese Chicken rice is actually a Singaporean creation. It was made by Hainanese people but created in Singapore.

It's the lack of crispiness for me. Poached chicken is ok but certainly not my first choice in cooking chicken

Never had a Hainanese chicken that didn’t rely on sauces. To me that just means the flavor has been boiled out. I don’t get the infatuation with poaching.

Not trying to be rude, genuinely asking what is the appeal of poached chicken? It looks bland in terms of both texture and flavor

truth be told I think the aversion to poached chicken comes from the idea that if your chicken isnt covered in seasoning, be it powder or marinade, its bland. Social media (from what ive seen) spreads this belief further. Also, some people dont see the difference between poaching and boiling

They probably don’t like poached chicken bcs they had boiled chicken instead poached and therefore don’t know the difference in flavor and texture 😊

I love poached chicken - especially when I am sick. It’s so comforting. I add a lot of fresh garlic
