Marinating The Chicken
For the best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20–30 minutes. Overnight marinating will give even deeper flavor.
Rice
Toasting the rice before adding liquid enhances the overall flavor and prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
If the rice looks slightly dry while cooking, add a small amount of broth (¼ cup at a time) as needed.
Keep the heat on low to medium once the broth is added to avoid burning the bottom.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after cooking—this helps the rice finish steaming and improves texture.
Notes
1
In a large bowl, season the chicken thighs with: olive oil, salt, pepper garlic blend, chicken seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, italian seasoning, paprika ,oyster sauce and soy sauce.
Mix well until fully coated. Let sit for at least 20–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
