There is no such thing as Hainan chicken in Hainan. I have been to the island 6 times and Wenchang is one of the counties in Hainan, the north east corner, near Haikou, the provincial capital.

Wenchang version is considered the best in cooking chicken and Wenchang is where majority of the Hainanese in Singapore and Malaysia came from – Their ancestoral home about 90% of them.

The township of Tan-niu is where the best bred chicken suitable for the cooking so called the Hainan Chicken. In Haikou, I have umpteen pictures about eateries selling Wenchang chickens, and Tanniu chickens but no Hainan chicken, If you see Tanniu, the the price goes up, for real or not. The name Tanniu fetches a higher price

This is my husband’s favorite dish, and he made this tonight for me/us – I’m pregnant. I was so impressed by how it came out. I see my husband in a whole new light now! Your recipe is certainly a keeper.

That looks amazing! And I love the little salt exfoliation you gave the chicken. My grandfather used to take any fatty chicken bits and toss it in with the ginger and garlic during the browning process. He used to tell me that a little oily “sheen” on the rice was a good thing. I will have to try your recipe sometime soon!
