    I added chicken stock instead of water and also fried spring onions with the ginger. Really liked it. Its so easy and low mess..

    Maybe I needed more seasoning but I thought the chicken was pretty bland. The green sauce was fine but nothing spectacular.

    I had the same experience with the rice as the other reviewers. I used 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs because my grocery didn’t have leg quarters available. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly, including using white jasmine rice, rinsing the rice, measuring out the rice and water, and making the dish in a 6-quart Dutch oven as recommended. The rice was very flavorful but complete mush. When I tried the crisping step, I wound up with a layer of rice stuck to the bottom of the pot that was impossible to scrape off. And, crisping didn’t make the rice any less mushy. I ended up just serving the chicken and sauce with plain steamed rice. It was still tasty (the sauce is great and chicken was well flavored with ginger and cilantro). But the whole point was the flavor-infused crispy rice… and I didn’t get that.

    Loved the green sauce and the ginger rice was very flavorful. Will skip the "browning step" on the rice next time, it just glued the rice to the bottom of the pan and didn't actually crisp. The skin on the chicken was soggy so did not eat, but the meat was cooked well and v juicy.

    I didn't love this. My limes may have been especially juicy but the sauce was so acidic that I needed to add another avocado to make it edible. So add lime juice in stages and taste. The crispy rice at the bottom of the pan was welded to it and it required major chipping work so get it off. After all that the meal was just meh. Not a repeat.
