3 Sauces Hainam Chicken Rice

Hainanese chicken rice is a beloved dish, which is why it’s puzzling there aren’t more spots in Chicago offering it. Regardless, arguably the best version is served at this Richland Center food court stall. Owner Chen Yu flawlessly poaches boneless chicken thighs and serves them on white rice that’s been flavored with chicken jus. It’s accompanied by chili, soy and ginger sauces plus a side of chicken soup. Though there are a couple of other items on the brief menu, the chicken rice is all you really need.
