Important Cooking Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30mins or overnight for best flavour
- Cook the chicken thighs on medium heat in a little butter or cooking spray for 5-6 mins each side. You want to develop a really good crust for extra flavour
- Once cooked, set to the side to rest while you make the rice
- Cook the garlic, onion and peppers for 5-6 mins on medium low heat till soft before adding the extra seasonings and cooking for another 2 mins
- When adding the cooked rice, make sure to mix it in well so every grain gets that vibrant colour and flavour. Add extra paprika and salt if needed
- Slice up the chicken thighs into cubes then serve with the rice! I like to add a little lemon juice or pair with a sauce of your choice
