One-Tray Baked Chicken Rice with Chilli Vinegar

Boneless Skin-On Chicken Thigh

White Onion

Garlic Clove

Fresh Ginger

Spring Onion

Basmati Rice

Chicken Stock

Soy Sauce

Red Chilli

Rice Wine Vinegar

Caster Sugar

Coriander

White Cabbage

Heat a large ovenproof pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and cook, skin side down, for 8-9 mins or until crispy. Flip ‘em over and briefly seal the bottom then remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Carefully remove the skin and pop the skins on a separate oven tray.

Finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger and tip them straight into the pan with the chicken fat and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8-9 mins until nicely coloured. Cut the spring onions into chunky lengths and wash the rice 2-3 times or until the water runs clear.

Tip the rice into the same pan and cook for 4-5 mins until toasty. Now add the stock and soy sauce then pop the chicken thighs back into the pan. Scatter over the spring onions, pop a lid on and slide into the oven for 35-40 mins. Slide the tray with the chicken skin on it into the oven for the last 10-12 mins until super crispy.

Meanwhile make the chilli vinegar: finely chop the chillies (seeds and all) and finely grate the garlic clove. Add to a small bowl and mix together with the vinegar and sugar. Set aside.

Finely chop the coriander and spring onions and add to a bowl. Use a peeler to shave in the cabbage and toss everything together.

Once baked, allow the rice and chicken thighs to rest for 10 mins or so before dividing between bowls and serving with crispy chicken skin, cabbage salad and plenty of the chilli vinegar.

Loved this and the white cabbage salad / slaw was amazing

Will be on my weeknight dinner rotation as a fixture! Another great one Chef Ben

Absolute winner! Can’t wait to make it again :-)

The calorie count per serving doesnt make sense to me

Think the cal amounts or people it serves needs updating x

Went down a storm. Big winner with the kids as well (didn't have the chilli vinegar on theirs). Was deliciously salty and rice perfectly absorbed all of the liquid. The chilli vinegar gave a lovely sweet and sour vibe at the end. Didnt get a chance to photo this one before it disappeared.

Recipe says boneless skinless thighs then the first part of the method says skin side down 😑
