Notes
Buy mixed chicken pieces in bulk and freeze in a single layer in a freezer or snap-lock bag for up to 3 months.
Timesaver shortcut: We’ve saved you time by using white rice in 2 1/2 minutes, which is cooked in the microwave.
About this recipe: We used a combination of chicken drumsticks, wings and chicken thigh cutlets with the skin on. They’re available from the supermarket deli or the fresh meat and poultry section.
