Method

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Rinse the chicken and remove any giblets or excess fat. 2. In a large pot, add enough water to cover the chicken and bring it to a boil. 3.

Let the chicken simmer for about 30 minutes or until it is cooked through. 6. Remove the chicken from the pot and transfer it to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. 5. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. 6. Fluff the rice with a fork.

Step 3: Prepare the Chili Sauce

1. Blend the chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar, and salt until smooth. 2. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl.

Step 4: Prepare the Soy Dipping Sauce

1. Mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Step 5: Serve

1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve it on a plate. 2. Serve the rice on a separate plate. 3. Serve the chili sauce and soy dipping sauce in small bowls.
