pgray's lazy/instant arroz de graxa com coxa de frango
Raw
arrozcomfrango.md

ingredients

  • salt (sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle)
  • paprika (use from vessel... and dose to your taste)
  • mixed pepper from grinder to taste (black pepper is fine but we use a blend of green/white/red/black)
  • 2.5lbs chicken thighs (1.135kg)
  • slice of butter (for the pan)
  • 2 and 1/3 cup rice (1050g)
  • 2 cups water (473g)

requirements

  • frying pan (non-stick kinda helps)
  • instant pot
  • nonstick-friendly tongs
  • plate or container (container with cover is nice)
  • large bowl

steps

  • put the instant pot roasting rack in the instant pot
  • pour the water in and forget about it for a little (leave it off)
  • measure out ingredients and sprinkle salt and pepper on each side of chicken thighs
  • melt butter in pan on medium/medium-high heat
  • place thighs skin-side down in pan
  • sprinkle paprika lightly over the thighs (who am I to judge how much is "lightly"? you figure it out)
  • flip once browned up a bit (guess)
  • sprinkle paprika lightly again (I am not shy with it)
  • pick up with tongs and place on rack in instant pot
  • repeat until finished with chicken (from "place thighs skin-side down in pan" step)
  • pour leftovers from pan over chicken in instant pot
  • scrape pan with nonstick-friendly tongs to get that good stuff and drop it over chicken
  • sprinkle any leftover salt over chicken and add paprika/pepper as you want
  • set instant pot to 14m on high (poultry setting if you have it)
  • rinse your rice until the water is clear in large bowl (just do it)
  • when instant pot beeps, let it sit for a bit and decompress (I am impatient too though and not your boss)
  • move chicken to plate/container until after rice is done
  • drop rice in and swirl instant pot inner pot to get it all level
  • turn on instant pot with rice setting for 12m on high
  • scoop out enough rice for the number of thighs you want to eat to sit nicely on top (I pat it down to ~1cm height)
  • EAT!

guidance

  • the more browning you get on the thighs without burning, the better
  • season however you like and experiment
  • do not use too little rice because the texture gets messed up
  • try the recipe twice
    • once to feel it out
    • second time to make it exactly how you want
  • post your own recipe and have fun!
  • do not over-salt otherwise rice can get to be too much
