Recipe Tips

If you want a crispy layer of rice at the bottom of the claypot chicken rice, you can put a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the rice cooker before adding the rice. The potatoes will form a crust that is crispy and delicious. Also, do not open the lid of the rice cooker too often as it will affect the cooking time and result in unevenly cooked rice. Finally, make sure to use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor.
