Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Boil a full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 12-13 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Prep the Chicken
2

a) Meanwhile, lay the chicken thighs flat onto a baking tray.

b) Sprinkle over the Thai style spice blend, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then rub to coat.

Roast and Pickle
3

a) Roast the chicken on the middle shelf until browned and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Meanwhile, trim and peel the carrots. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrots, stopping at the core.

c) In a medium bowl, combine the carrot, rice vinegar, sugar (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle.

Make your Satay Sauce
4

a) In a small bowl, add the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and hot water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). TIP: If your peanut butter has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min. 

b) Stir well until smooth. Set your satay sauce aside.

Finishing Touches
5

a) Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

b) When everything's ready, fluff the rice up with a fork and stir through three quarters of the coriander.

c) Slice the roasted chicken widthways into 2cm slices.

Serve Up
6

a) Share the coriander rice between your bowls.

b) Top with the sliced chicken and carrot pickle. 

c) Drizzle the satay sauce over the chicken and finish with a sprinkle of peanuts and the remaining coriander.

Enjoy!
