- ✓Cut chicken thighs into uniform ¾-inch pieces so they cook evenly in 6-8 minutes, preventing some pieces from drying out while others remain undercooked.technique¾-inch pieces, 6-8 minutes
- ✓Use a 2:1 ratio of chicken stock to rice instead of water because the proteins and fats create better flavor absorption and prevent the rice from becoming bland.ingredient2:1 ratio
