This recipe is heavily inspired by a soy-glazed roasted version of a chicken dish which Chloe ate at a Hainanese chicken place in Kuala Lumpur. Now, this is in no way authentic, but you have got to try it.

    Tasted very good. Following other reviewers’ comments, I added extra ginger and garlic to the broth. Will be making this again

    Super tasty. I used regular soy with sugar for the marinade and it turned out lovely.

    Family favourite! woohoo. I didn’t have sambal so had siracha sauce as an option and cripsy chili oil which was incredible with it. Also for a side of vege I chopped up some silver beet and cooked it in the broth. It went really well with the dish and bulked it out a bit more. Will definitely make this again.

    Managed to get my mits on actual Kecap Manis from a big supermarket, and wow, I think this is my new favourite way of cooking chicken! Delicious. Would give the recipe an 8/10 - it was pretty yummy!

    Chicken was amazing. The broth was pretty good. We did add a bit more garlic than what was in the recipe as I found the ginger was a bit overpowering.

    I seem to be the outlier in the reviews here, but personally I didn’t think this dish was great at all. I followed the recipe as best as I was able (other than making my own kecap manis as others have also done), but the broth was bland! Couldn’t taste the garlic and ginger at all. The chicken marinade was tasty, but wasn’t enough to save the dish and make me want to do again.

    The flavour of the chicken was insane. I didn’t have kecap maris but it’s easy to make. You just boil up brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic,ginger and star anise. Fab recipe.

    Really nice. We added Calamansi as a squeeze on top. Loved the sesame oil.with onions - would make a bit more of that next time. Overall really nice!

    Put my own twist on it but unreal! The broth didn’t taste too much of garlic and ginger don’t know what I did wrong or maybe I’m just greedy 😍

    One of the best recipes I’ve made from mob! Added Pak Choi for some green. Perfect bowl of comfort if feeling run down!

    My girlfriend says this is the best thing I’ve made so far. Didn’t have the kecap manis so I made it from scratch. Really amazing recipe.

    Absolute winner. Added some sliced radish for some extra veg and some red chillis to the broth for a little heat.

    I think maybe the onion whites should be wilted and the greens should be used as garnish? It's not clear what to do with the whites otherwise but usually you don't want to cook the green parts...

    Hi Rachel! The whites go into the stock (step 1) and the greens are wilted and stirred through the sesame oil (step 3).
