The chicken thighs look really juicy and tender´!
I never really like bottled chicken essence. Just had it once,I think? when I was a kid. I wonder if bottled chicken essence still taste the same.
Personally I don’t like the taste of brands chicken essence and can’t stand drinking it out of the bottle. But when I cook it this way I find it pretty nice and I’m able to drink it!
Is is suitable for kids 4yo n 6yo?
I’m sorry I’m not qualified to answer that. Maybe you can consult your elders or a doctor about the suitability.
Can I cook this using rice cooker?
Definitely yes, if your rice cooker is big enough to accommodate the plate.

You can omit it without substitution.
