Khao man gai is a popular Thai street food dish. It consists of tender boiled chicken served over fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth. Accompanied by a savoury chilli dipping sauce and usually garnished with cucumber and coriander, it’s a comforting, flavourful Thai meal.

Variations of Hainanese chicken rice can be found across various countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each country adds its own unique touch and cooking methods, and in this chicken rice recipe we’re making it Thai-style.
