Mostly every country around the world has their own unique version of a chicken soup. Tinola is the Philippines’ version while Hainanese Chicken is Singapore’s version. Both are pretty similar in taste, given the strong base of ginger and onions/spring onions for both soups. However, technique-wise, they are very different.

In this recipe, I use the Hainanese Chicken method to keep the chicken extremely juicy and the skin almost like jelly. I then combine this technique with the ingredients I would normally use for my Tinola; creating a marriage that makes a lot of sense and is really tasty and satisfying. The spicy ginger dipping sauce is a must when cooking this dish, as it provides the right burst of spiciness, saltiness and acidity in every bite.

Enjoy!
