Be inspired by Hainanese chicken rice with this one-pot finished with crispy chilli oil. You can also use your favourite hot sauce, if you like.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 4. Pour a dash of vegetable oil in a large casserole dish with a lid. Once hot, season the chicken thighs with salt, then cook skin-side down for 5-6 mins until deeply golden. Remove from the pan and set aside (it shouldn’t be cooked through yet).

Step 2

Pour in a little more vegetable oil, then tip in the spring onions, garlic and ginger. Cook on a medium heat for 4-5 mins until softened and golden around the edges. Tip in the rice and the dark soy and stir to coat in the oil. Pour in the stock, then put the chicken on top of the rice, skin-side up.

Step 3

Put the lid on the casserole dish then put in the oven for 20 mins. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the coriander and crispy chilli oil to serve, if you like a bit of heat.
