Inspired by renowned Hong Kong celebrity chef Annie Leong’s recipe, this claypot chicken rice dish doesn’t need to be cooked in a traditional earthern claypot to achieve that nice, crusty texture and smoky aroma. This recipe is part of Open Kitchen by Janice O’Connor. All proceeds from the book sales will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation Singapore.
