1. Ingredients Needed
500g chicken thighs
0.5kg glutinous rice
Salt, cooking oil, fish sauce, black pepper, oyster sauce, turmeric powder, chili sauce, and more
Tools Required: Air fryer, rice cooker
2. Execution Steps
Wash glutinous rice to remove dirt, then drain. Extract juice from fresh turmeric, pour over glutinous rice, and mix evenly to color the rice. Let it soak for 20 minutes. If fresh turmeric is unavailable, use turmeric powder instead. Then, rinse the rice. After the rice has absorbed the turmeric, transfer it to a rice cooker, add a teaspoon of salt, pour in enough water, and cook until the rice is tender.
Clean chicken thighs, make incisions for better seasoning penetration. Marinate the chicken thighs with fish sauce, black pepper, five-spice powder, oyster sauce, and chili sauce for 30 minutes.
Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer and set the temperature to 170°C for 15 minutes. Once the chicken and rice are cooked, spread a piece of food wrap on a clean surface, spoon some rice onto it, spread it thinly. Then, place a chicken thigh in the center of the rice. Wrap it tightly so the rice adheres to the chicken. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken thighs.
