- Rub sesame oil over the chicken thighs.
- Place the chicken thighs skin side up on top of the rice in the rice cooker.

- Pull the chicken out carefully once cooked.

- Slice spring onion for topping.
Helpful tips
- Rinse the rice until the water is mostly clear to prevent it becoming overly sticky.
- Use chicken thighs of a similar size so they cook evenly.
- Check the chicken in its thickest part with a clean meat thermometer before serving.
- Allow the chicken to rest briefly before slicing.
- Do not overfill the rice cooker beyond its stated capacity.
Storage
Cool the chicken and rice quickly and refrigerate within 2 hours. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat only once until piping hot throughout.
Additional tips
- Ensure chicken reaches safe internal temperature before serving.
