Rinse 3 cups of rice until the water runs clear, usually takes 3-4 rinses.

Drain the rice and add 3 cups of water to the pot.

Put the pot on the stove and bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to the lowest setting for 20 minutes.

Slice 2 onions and trim the fat off the chicken thighs.

In a shallow pan, heat avocado oil and add the sliced onions; sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Add the chicken thighs to the pan in a single layer and cook until browned on one side, then flip to brown the other side.

Once the chicken is browned, add 1 cup of soy sauce and 2 mini cans of coca-cola to the pan.

Use tongs to ensure the chicken is covered in the sauce, then cover the pan and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the lid and serve the chicken over the rice with extra sauce.
