    The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.

    That rice was heinous though.

      The chicken itself is probably fine.

      Duck a’laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.

      One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.

      I think this dish is better than it’s made out to be.

      Fuck that rice though

      That rice could probably have been cooked for another hour or two. I mean, I’m sure that you can still see the individual grains.

        I’ve never put chicken stock in a rice cooker, but I kind of need to know.

        I did steam some nachos in there one time. They came out perfect. When I excitedly told a few friends, they all universally gave me concerned looks. I decided to retire the recipe while I still had people around me who weren’t ashamed to be near me.

          Look up “arroz con pollo” and you’ll get a universe of options. Ate it all the time growing up a dozen different ways, it was a staple.

    Very clever using imgur so we can’t defend ourselves because we can’t see the image.

    ^we probably deserve it though^

      No, Jamie would have put the teaspoon of oil aside and poured the rest of the bottle in. Then used the remaining teaspoon as a serving garnish.

      Yep you go tell them how thats stupid, then they use their sock-puppet account to defend themselves obnoxiously to farm so much more engagement and revenue than any respectable contribution to society they could ever achieve through honest methods.

    Putting that nasty concoction aside, here’s how you cook rice properly.

    Put a cup of rice in a small saucepan, wash it until the water is clear. Add enough water so it comes up to the top of your thumbnail, about 3/4" above the level of the rice.

    Put it on high heat and leave it until it starts to bubble like crazy. Remove from heat, put the lid on the pan and leave it for 15 minutes.

    Save leftover rice in the fridge for the best fried rice the next day.

    Fruit juice with poultry and rice is mostly south-asian or indian cuisine, no?

    Edit: oh, it’s Fanta. Gross.
