Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken thighs
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 12 oz frozen edamame
- 1 parsley
- 1 tbsp Japanese togarashi
- salt, to taste
Marinade
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 shallot
- 1 lemongrass stalk
- 2 lime juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
Quick Sauce
- fresh chiles, to taste
- lime juice, to taste
- fish sauce, to taste
- a pinch brown sugar
Instructions
- 1Blend the garlic, shallot, lemongrass, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and water in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding extra water if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
- 2Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or zip‑top bag, pour the blended marinade over them, and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- 3While the chicken marinates, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 4In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with chicken broth (use the same volume of broth as water called for in the package directions). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12‑15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 5When the rice is done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then fold in the frozen edamame (no need to thaw), minced parsley, and Japanese togarashi. Season with salt to taste and keep warm.
- 6Preheat a broiler or set an air‑fryer to high heat (about 425°F/428°F). Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a greased rack or air‑fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- 7Broil or air‑fry the chicken for 8‑10 minutes, turning once, until the exterior is nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F).
- 8Transfer the charred chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
- 9Serve the sliced chicken over the edamame rice.
- 10If desired, prepare a quick sauce by mixing chopped fresh chiles, lime juice, fish sauce, and a pinch of brown sugar in a small bowl; drizzle over the chicken and rice just before serving.
