Roasted five-spice chicken and Turmeric rice

At first I think to cook Hainanese fried chicken rice, but a bit hesitate to fry the whole bird of chicken and very oily, end up I roasted the chicken and cooked turmeric rice, something simple and delicious.

I love my turmeric rice with curry chicken.. not so dry.
Roasting chicken with 5 spice powder is a good idea.

Hainanese fried chicken rice?? Must be yum! This healthy version looks good too!

ICook4Fun said...

I like your roast chicken and it is much healthier roasting it. I never try yellow rice before. I have to remember to cook some the next time I make roast chicken.

Fresh Local and Best said...

I love all of the spices in this chicken recipe. The meat is beautifully browned. I also like the tumeric rice, a nice variation from saffron.

Cheah said...

This dish is so salivating, like the colour and tumeric rice is not so filling as tumeric glutinous rice. Great idea!

Saraswathy Balakrishnan said...

looks so deliciously mouth-watering and wish to have a bite:)
