  10. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the chicken.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in chicken pieces for added flavor, but the cooking time will be longer.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice mix.
  • This dish is even better when reheated the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch, which can make the rice sticky.
