Step 1
Buy two chicken legs, wash them clean and set aside. If you are cooking for a large group, you can buy a whole chicken. This time, I used a clay pot to braise, but first, I will teach you how to cook using an electric rice cooker, which is simpler!

Step 2
Cut a small piece of sand ginger (about the size of two fingers) and two cloves of garlic into small pieces, put them in a bowl, add a small amount of oil, just enough to cover the sand ginger, and add a little soy sauce, about two tablespoons. Stir the seasonings in the bowl evenly and set aside!

After a few minutes, the electric rice cooker will automatically switch off. Do not rush to open the lid, but let it simmer for a few minutes. After a few minutes, open the lid, flip the chicken legs over, and press the cook button again. After the button switches off again, do not rush to open the lid, but let it simmer for a few more minutes. Finally, open the lid and use chopsticks to poke the chicken legs. If they are easily pierced, they are cooked. If not, repeat the previous step!
