Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1½ cup plain long grain rice
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • olive oil
Preheat a skillet with olive oil.
  • garlic and herb seasoning
  • smoked paprika
Season the chicken thighs with garlic and herb seasoning and smoked paprika.
Place the thighs seasoned side down, not over really high heat, so the fat renders and the skin crisps; add a bit more olive oil and sear until well coloured.
Flip and give the other side a couple of minutes just for colour.
Heat the stock until very hot; chop the garlic.
  • fresh garlic
  • chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp butter
Put the rice in a baking dish; add the garlic, the leftover garlic and herb seasoning and smoked paprika, the Italian seasoning, no extra salt, the hot chicken stock and the butter.
Building the rice base
  • 5 whole bone in skin on chicken thighs
Set the chicken thighs on top.
Add-ins and topping with the chicken
Cover and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake another 30 minutes so the skin crisps again.
