Critical Success Points

  • Poaching the chicken gently without boiling.
  • Ice bathing the chicken immediately after cooking.
  • Rendering chicken fat and sautéing aromatics for rice.
  • Letting rice rest after cooking.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful transferring hot chicken to the ice bath to avoid burns.
  • Ensure chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 74°C/165°F) to avoid foodborne illness.
  • Use caution when handling sharp knives.
