Chicken Rice Pot

With a range of cooking methods and flavours to choose from, chicken recipes are a great way to exercise your chef skills. Why not give the following Chicken Rice Pot recipe a try? As part of The Staff Canteen Live, Alex Craciun will be creating his chicken rice pot recipe for his demonstration at IFE 2017 - supported by Westlands. You can register here: www.ife.co.uk/tsc
Ingredients
Method
Mirepoix:
Cut all of the ingredients into nice 1/2 cm cubes. Mix all the ingredients and roast them at a high temperature.
Miso Confit:
Mix all of the ingredients together in a pan. Once fat and miso are melting together it’s ready to be used to season the chicken thigh.
Corn fed chicken thigh:
Put chicken and miso confit in vacuum bag. Cook in a water bath for 45minutes at 62.5°c. Roast in a pan, skin first, until crispy. Add chives on top.
Rice pot:
Assemble the rice and stock in a pot. Bring to boil, then lower the heat to a minimum for 10 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Open the rice pot and add:
1. Mirepoix
2. Chicken thigh
3. Slow cooked egg
4. Salt, pepper
5. Yakitori glaze
Cardinal rules of rice making:
Wash the rice 30 minutes before cooking and let it drain in a colander. Use a heavy, tight lidded pot. Adjust the amount of liquid used for boiling to fit the rice you are cooking. Do not remove the lid while cooking. Let the rice settle in a covered pot for 15 minutes after the heat is turned off.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
