  1. MARINATION STATION

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine the coconut cream, the garlic, the ginger, the citrus juice marinade, the brown sugar, the sriracha (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Add the chicken, toss to combine, and set aside.

  2. TOAST

    Place the nuts in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. RICE

    Return the pot with the rice and 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  4. ROAST

    In a roasting tray, add the onion, coat in oil, and top with the chicken, reserving the excess marinade. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 10-15 minutes, top with the reserved marinade.

  5. CHARRED PINEAPPLE

    Place a pan or a grill pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple rings until charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  6. DINNER IS READY

    Make a bed of the rice, top with the juicy chicken & onions, and all the tray juices. Side with the charred pineapple rings and sprinkle over the nuts. Garnish with the coriander. Enjoy, Chef!
