How to Choose a Delicious Ready-to-Eat Roasted Chicken
To enjoy a tasty boiled chicken dish, you need to select the best pre-cooked chickens. Ideally, choose a chicken weighing around 1.5-2kg. Look for a golden skin without tiny red spots or any strange odors, indicating a healthy and delicious bird.
Additionally, you can assess the chicken’s quality by feeling the meat with your hands. If the flesh is firm and bounces back, it’s a good choice. However, if the meat is soft, floppy, and lacks resilience, it’s best to avoid it.

Boiling Chicken in a Rice Cooker: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Crush and chop the ginger. Mix it with white wine and rub this mixture over the chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes to eliminate any unpleasant odors. If you don’t have wine, you can repeatedly rub the chicken with a mixture of vinegar and salt in a 2:1 ratio. Afterward, rinse the chicken with clean water and apply chicken powder all over. Let it sit for about 2 hours for better flavor absorption.

The Art of Boiling Chicken to Perfection
Step 2: Add a small amount of cooking oil to the bottom of your rice cooker, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Place the thinly sliced ginger and scallions in the cooker, creating a bed for the chicken. Set the chicken on top, close the lid, and press the ‘Cook’ button. Once the cooker switches to the ‘Warm’ setting, wait for 10 minutes before flipping the chicken and pressing ‘Cook’ again.
You can continue to steam the chicken until the cooker returns to the ‘Warm’ setting, and then let it sit for an additional 4-5 minutes. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce the thigh with a skewer; if no red juice flows out, it’s ready. Remove the chicken from the cooker, let it cool completely, and then cut it into pieces.
There you have it! A mouthwatering boiled chicken dish prepared without water. Give it a try, and you’ll likely never go back to the traditional water-boiled chicken again.
