Turn off the heat and allow to simmer for another 15mins. Prepare a separate pot with ice cubes and enough water to immerse the whole hen. Dip the hen in and out of the cold water 10times. Rub the oil onto the whole hen and hang dry. Remove all ingredients from cavity and allow hen to set for half hour before cutting. Serve with pandan chicken rice, chilled cucumber and chilli.
