The SECRET to making CHINESE CHICKEN CONGEE

The first time I ever made congee was an accident: I was trying to make arroz con pollo one night after coming home super drunk, and put WAY too much water in the pot. I then fell asleep (on the floor of the kitchen) for at least an hour. I may have had a bit of a drinking problem in my youth, but damn, was that congee good.

So touching how you talk about your mom, and how she made congee for you when you were sick and when you were not 😊. I am a Russian woman and I am going to make your mother’s congee recipy for my Puerto-Rican hubby. 💚👍 Only in America!

I remember when a Chinese student made this in a crockpot in our dorm in the 70’s. It was so yummy.

In the first week of the pandemic, I made chicken congee for the first time. I MADE SO MUCH CONGEE DURING THE PANDEMIC Y'ALL

Not feeling well today and it’s cold and rainy. I’m making this as we speak and my kitchen smells amazing! Thank you for this awesome recipe 💖

First and foremost thank you for sharing and secondly but not last the congee was delicious. Few things that i was hesitant about was the century egg i had never ever seen one or tasted one, bought then and while mixing it with the rice i was really doubtful because the smell was gross. The amount of rice didn’t seem to be enough, another that bluffed me was cooking the chicken with it the remaining rice heat. I followed your directions and everything worked out as you mentioned. One thing that I thought it was hilarious was that throughout the whole video you kept on telling people that you liked it simple, but there is nothing simple about this recipe took me like 5 hours to make, taking into account taking the bones apart from the chicken, chopping, marinating, cooking etc. But it was well worth it, thanks again

Yo your congee looks so freaking dope, like restaurant quality

Nice video with good tips. The alkaline in the century egg helps breakdown the rice in the cooking process.

This reminds me of how I like to make Caldo de pollo(chicken soup🇲🇽)... which I just make a simple version of it with just carrots and potatoes for veggies and I add rice to it so it cooks with the soup but I add the veggies and rice early on so they end up over cooking a bit so they end up more mushy which makes the broth thicker .... which is probably nowhere near what congee is but it’s fascinating to see how for that most part the same ingredients can turn into two dishes that are very different yet similar in weird way

THIS IS IT!! I’ve been looking for a recipe that rivals the congee I used to get from Full Key in Wheaton, MD. Thank you!

Honestly thank you so much for this, my grandma always makes congee for me when I'm sick and I miss it so much now that I'm in university living away from home 😭

You win the mother of the year award 👌

Loved this, can’t wait to try it!

Thanks to you and your mom for sharing this great recipe!

After trying 4 or 5 recipes of chinese congee on youtube, this is by far the best i've ever tasted. Better than the best congee place here in the phils. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with the world. 😋

Wow! Just tried your method cooking the slices of chicken in the residue heat, mind blowingly good, only I did have it simmering until all the chicken was in then turned off the heat and left it for 10 min, it was melt in yor mouth moist chicken. Thank you so much for sharing. Love from Australia ❤🇦🇺

I miss these cooking videos! Looks so yummy and healthy, Thanks

I started making congee for the first time yesterday and couldn’t finish it before it was too late so just stopped at the broth... I was worried though because it has been really hot out. But..... I woke up this morning to finish it - it’s been pouring rain and cold !!!!! Perfect congee weather :D

Omg I was just randomly craving for congee so I youtube it, and you guys popped up and I'm already subbed 😂 I had no idea Casey had a video on how to make congee this is great!
