Instructions:

Poaching the Chicken:

 1. Prepare the broth: In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the chicken to a boil. Add ginger, garlic, green onions, and salt.

 2. Poach the chicken: Lower the chicken into the boiling water, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Poach for 30-40 minutes until fully cooked.

 3. Rest the chicken: Once cooked, immediately place the chicken in an ice bath to stop the cooking and firm up the skin. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Making the Crispy Fried Chicken:

 1. Season the chicken: Season chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper.

 2. Coat the chicken: Dredge the chicken in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs.

 3. Fry the chicken: Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken pieces until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, then slice.

Cooking the Rice:

 1. Sauté the garlic and ginger: In a pan, heat the chicken fat or vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.

 2. Cook the rice: Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the pan and stir to coat with the garlic and ginger. Transfer the rice to a rice cooker, add 2 cups of chicken broth (from poaching), and cook as you normally would.

Serving:

 1. Slice the poached chicken into pieces and arrange on a plate. Place the fried chicken on top.

 2. Serve with fragrant rice, cucumber slices, and dipping sauces like chili or soy sauce.
