Chicken thighs are often more affordable and flavorful.

Marinate chicken thighs in rice vinegar, soy sauce, and half of the minced garlic for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil over high heat.

Remove chicken from the marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned, then set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp avocado oil; cook the remaining garlic for about 1 minute.

Pour the reserved marinade into the pan, add brown sugar, cracked pepper, bay leaves, and water; mix well and bring to a boil.

Simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Return the chicken to the sauce and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to a honey caramelized syrup.

In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat and sauté rice for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.

Add 1/2 tsp salt and pour in hot water; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Turn the chicken over and cook for a further 7-10 minutes.
