Tutor's tips
- •Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear so the grains cook up fluffy instead of gummy.
- •Keep the lid closed while the rice cooks because trapped steam is what finishes the center of the skillet.
- •Use chicken thighs for the best value and juiciest texture, but trim large pockets of fat before dicing.
