Tips for Perfect Chicken in Your Rice Cooker
- Pre-sauté your aromatics: If your cooker has a “sauté” function, brown garlic and onion first for deeper flavour.
- Check liquid ratios: Add an extra 20–30 ml of stock or water per 250 g of chicken to keep the rice moist.
- Use bone-in or boneless: Both work—bone-in yields more flavour, boneless is quicker to cook.
- Rest before serving: Let the dish sit for 5 minutes after the cycle ends to allow juices to redistribute.
