Prepare your Hainanese Chicken Broth: boil onions, leeks, peppercorns, garlic, ginger and chicken broth cube in a pot. For a quick cook, boil at least 30 mins.

Then add in your salt-brined chicken pieces, smother with sesame oil and a bit more salt first. Discard the brine. Bring the pot to a boil again for 5 minutes. Turn to the other side and let it cook for another 5 minutes before turning off the heat. (Note: this applies to thawed or fresh chicken only. It takes longer for frozen chicken).

Leave the chicken in the pot for 30 minutes to cook off in the residual heat.

Place the chicken in a container with a bit of broth and cover so it doesn't dry out while you are cooking the bulgur. Set aside.

Strain the broth and set aside.

How to cook the Bulgur: toast in oil in a pan for a couple of minutes.

Then pour in your Hainanese broth. The ratio is 1:2. So for 1/2c Bulgur, I added 1 cup of broth. Constantly stir in low heat until it is absorbed.

Remove from heat and rest for at least 15 minutes.

Transfer to a serving plate and pair with your Hainanese Chicken. I mixed in the cooked onions, garlic and a couple ginger slices from the broth. Left the peppercorns off of course haha. Enjoy!
