    Boiling chicken isn’t celebrating it. This is also more more about anglo cooking in the USA.

      Hainanese chicken rice would like a word. The most basic version of this dish has 3 ingredients: boiled (technically poached) chicken, rice, and salt. It’s exactly a celebration of the flavour of a high quality pasture-raised chicken (ideally a heritage slow-growing breed).

      Yes, it’s usually garnished with chilli sauce, cucumbers, and even tomatoes. But the central component of the dish is boiled chicken.
