Baked Chinese Chicken and Rice

Step 1

Mix Chicken and Marinade in a bowl. Set aside for at least 20 minutes, up to 24 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 3

Place rice ingredients, including oil, soy sauce, cooking  wine, stock, and water, in a medium pot and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Pour liquid into a 9x13 pan and add the rice and vegetables spreading them out evenly.

Step 5

Remove chicken pieces from the marinade (reserving marinade) and place on top - chicken will be partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 6

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove foil, baste the chicken with remaining Marinade (dab it on generously), spray chicken with oil then bake for a further 20 minutes until chicken is caramalized, the liquid is absorbed and rice is fluffy. If you want more caramelization on the chicken, flick the broiler on for a few minutes.

Step 8

Set aside for 10 minutes before fluffing rice then serving, garnished with scallions if using.
