How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken meat
- For this grilled chicken broken rice dish, you should choose chicken thighs as they are the best, as they have tender meat and are easy to debone.
- Choose chicken pieces that have a dry surface; when pressed, the meat should still retain its elasticity.
- Good chicken thighs will have a light yellow color, bright appearance, and no strange smell.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that are pale white or slightly bluish as they may have been chemically treated.
- Do not buy chicken pieces that are mushy or have an unusual smell.
How to choose fresh eggs
- You should choose new eggs, which will usually have a thin white powdery layer on the outer shell.
- Touch the eggshell; if it is fresh, it will feel slightly rough and heavy to the touch, so choose those.
- Hold the egg and shake it; if you don’t feel any movement, it is fresh and good.
- Do not choose eggs that feel movement when shaken, as they are spoiled.
- Old eggs will have a smooth, shiny shell with cracks, so you should avoid buying them.
Where to buy oyster sauce
- You can find any type of oyster sauce you like at most spice shops, supermarkets, and grocery stores.
- Buy directly at the nearest TasteVN supermarket chain, or order oyster sauce at bachhoaxanh.com.
- To ensure the quality of the oyster sauce, you can make oyster sauce at home using the detailed recipe suggested by TasteVN right below.

How to prepare Grilled Chicken Broken Rice
-
Prepare the chicken
After buying, wash the chicken thighs thoroughly. Then use a sharp knife to clean the chicken bones.
If you find the chicken meat too thick after deboning, you can slice it thinner, ensuring the piece of meat is only about 1/2 finger joint thick.
To make the chicken meat absorb the seasoning better, after deboning, use the flat side of the knife to hit the piece of meat 3 – 4 times.
How to clean and eliminate the smell of chicken:
- To clean and remove the smell of chicken, you must first remove the feathers.
- Soak the chicken with salt, pepper, crushed ginger, and a little white wine for about 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
- If you’re short on time, you can wash the chicken with vinegar, alcohol, or lemon to eliminate the smell.

Make the sauce and marinate the chicken
Peel and finely chop 2 shallots, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 chili peppers. Then put everything into a blender, add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Blend the mixture until smooth for about 30 seconds. Add 2/3 of the prepared sauce to the chicken and mix well. Marinate the meat for about 30 minutes.
-
Prepare the other ingredients
Peel the carrot and daikon radish, clean the herbs, chop the green onions and cilantro, discarding any damaged leaves. Rinse the daikon radish, carrot, cucumber, tomato, onion, cilantro, and herbs thoroughly, keeping each type of ingredient separate.
Chop the green onion leaves finely, slice the tomato and cucumber into thin pieces.
Shred or thinly slice the carrot and daikon radish as desired, squeeze out the excess water, then let the daikon and carrot dry completely.
-
Make pickled vegetables
Put 1/2 cup of vinegar (rice bowl size), 1/2 cup of water (rice bowl size), 4 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate into a bowl, and stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Then, add the prepared carrots and daikon radish into a large bowl or plate, and pour the entire vinegar-sugar mixture over. Soak the ingredients for about 30 minutes.
Tip: To save time, you can buy ready-made pickled vegetables at convenience stores.
-
Frying Eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add a little finely chopped green onion, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate. Stir well to combine the seasonings and eggs.
Evenly coat the pan with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and heat the oil. Then pour the egg mixture in, slowly tilting the pan to spread the eggs out thinly. Fry the eggs over medium heat for about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and gently roll the eggs into a round shape. Fry for another minute until the eggs are golden on all sides, then turn off the heat. Cut the eggs into bite-sized pieces.
-
Grilling Chicken
Place the chicken on the grill, set the charcoal fire to medium, and grill for about 30 – 40 minutes until the chicken is evenly golden on both sides.
During the grilling process, when you see the chicken is evenly golden on both sides, brush the remaining sauce on, evenly coating both sides of the meat. Grill until the sauce is dry, then take it out and place it on a plate.
Tip: If you do not have a charcoal grill, you can grill the chicken using an oven, an air fryer, or an electric grill for 30 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Then take it out, brush the sauce on and grill for another 5 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
-
Completion
Place the broken rice on a plate, add pickled vegetables, cucumber, tomato, fried egg, and herbs as desired. Add a piece of grilled chicken on top, prepare a bowl of sweet and sour fish sauce, and a bowl of hot soup (depending on preference) to enjoy.
