COCONUT RICE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear. Place in a lidded pot, over medium-high heat with 100ml of salted water and the coconut milk.

Place the Chicken pieces on a roasting tray. Pat dry with paper towel, coat in oil, and season. Pop in the hot oven and roast until cooked through, 30-35 minutes. Lightly drizzle the gem squash halves with oil and season. Set aside.
WHAT A GEM!
When the Chicken has been in for 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and place the dressed gem squash halves on the roasting tray, cut-side up. Return to the hot oven and roast for the remaining time until cooked through and soft.
COCONUT CRUMB & SWEET GLAZE
In a bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, the breadcrumbs, and seasoning. In a separate small bowl, combine the sweet glaze, 30ml of water, the grated garlic and ginger, and seasoning. Set aside. When the roast has 15 minutes remaining, remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle the coconut crumb over the Chicken and then pour over the sweet glaze mixture.
