NOTES
- Bone-in chicken thighs bake in the same manner as rice, making them the ideal piece of chicken to use in this recipe. They also ensure succulent chicken pieces that don’t dry out. Nothing is worse than dry chicken.
- Skin-OFF thighs are much more effective in comparison to skin-on thighs. In the course of testing, we noticed that using skin-on thighs resulted in sticky and sticky half-raw rice. The chicken fat was soaked into the rice when it was baking.
- It is possible to use bone-in breasts to make this recipe for rice and casserole. Cooking time is exactly the same because chicken breasts are a bit thicker than chicken thighs.
- Drumsticks of chicken can be utilized with skin on or off. Both are effective.
- Place your chicken on the rice, as the photo above illustrates. It is important to ensure that the chicken is placed on top of the middle portion of the rice in order to ensure the rice cooks. The middle section left uncooked resulted in some grain pieces that were still raw.
- The long-grain variety is considered to be the ideal rice for cooking as it cooks uniformly. Basmati rice, as well as Jasmine rice, are both suitable for using the same ratio of liquid in addition to cooking duration.
- Please don’t make use of short-grain rice medium grain rice, paella, risotto, or minute rice.
