Steps

1 hr 45 min

1

Marinate the chicken drumsticks with the Chinese spice bake mix, Shaoxing wine, and turmeric powder for at least 30 minutes (mine were marinated for 2 hours for more flavour)
2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook until softened, being careful not to let it brown. Set aside.
3

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Drain and leave the water in until it is enough to just cover the rice
4

Add 600ml of chicken stock (or enough to reach the indicated mark for 3.5 cups of rice in the rice cooker). Also, add the fried shallot along with the oil from the skillet, as it adds aromatic flavors to the dish. Give everything a gentle stir.
5

Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on top of the rice in the rice cooker, ensuring they do not overlap.
6

Start the rice cooker and let it cook until done. Once cooked, sprinkle the thinly sliced green onion over the chicken and rice.
7

In a separate bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and chopped chives. Mix well.
8

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet and pour it over the sauce mixture, stirring to combine.
9

Serve the flavorful chicken and rice with the dipping sauce. We also add some vegetables and prawn on the side.
