READY THE ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Place on a roasting tray with the pepper strips. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and browned, 30-35 minutes.
SOME NICE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
SOY GOOD!
In a small bowl, combine the chilli flakes (to taste), the grated ginger, ½ the grated garlic, the soy sauce, a sweetener of choice, and a drizzle of oil. Set aside.
BETTER BASTE NOW
When the roast is halfway, baste the chicken with the soy marinade. Roast for the remaining time.
GARLICKY GREENS & CARROTS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the carrot pieces until charred, 3-4 minutes per side. Add the remaining garlic and the spring onion whites. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the shredded spinach and fry until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season.
PLATE UP
Pile up the steaming rice and serve the roasted chicken & peppers alongside. Pour over any remaining tray juices. Side with the garlicky greens & carrots. Drizzle over the chilli oil (to taste) and the lemon juice (to taste). Sprinkle over the spring onion greens. Dig in, Chef!
