Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Soak the chicken thighs after washing and patting them dry; marinate them in the listed marinade ingredients to soak the chicken, and leave them to soak for a full night.
  2. Place the chicken in a baking tray and put it in the oven on the middle rack until cooked; you can brown the top if desired.
  3. Prepare the rice: fry a chopped onion in a little oil.
  4. Add finely chopped fresh tomatoes after the onion has softened.
  5. When the tomatoes have softened too, put them in an electric blender and blend until they become like a sauce.
  6. Return the mixture to the pot, then add the chicken broth (it should be available from previously simmering the chicken with aromatics) and stir; then add the kabsa spice and salt — when they boil, add the rice.
  7. Let the broth boil again with the rice before reducing the heat.
  8. Cover the rice and leave it for about 20 minutes over low heat until cooked.
    Timers: 20 min
  9. Serve the baked chicken with kabsa rice.
