To cook rice in a clay pot or earthen-ware
This is very different from that of a rice cooker.
It needs about 15% extra of water needed for normal rice cooked with rice cooker. This is due to higher evaporation rate from a less manageable fire control. Cook over high flame till boil for 5 minutes.

Switch to medium during boiling. 10 minutes. Gradually reduce to low as the amount of water reduces. 15 minutes. The rice should be 90% cooked and 90% dry.

Five minutes more of very low flame would burn some rice at the base, giving it its characteristic aroma. It would also cook the bulk of the rice.

Switch off. Let the retained heat do the final episode of cooking through.

Why do we need a clay pot
to cook the chicken rice

The secret lies in the unique aroma from the rice cooked this way. It is the burnt aroma! One may apprehend at the idea of burnt rice, and argue that it is not healthy to consume anything 'burnt'. Usually the rice burnt is minimal. Thus there is no cause for alarm, to the health advocates.

In absence of a clay pot, you may want
to substitute it with 'oven to table' type of cookware, or earthen-ware like casserole.

If you do not have a clay-pot or a casserole,
you may use a rice-cooker. Add the fried ingredients when rice is almost cooked. (Before the automatic switch off).

To further enhance the taste, add 1 tbsp of rice wine or dry sherry just before serving.
