DIRECTION
Add a litre of water of water to the marinated chicken and turn on your source of heat. Allow to cook for 20 to 30 minutes ( depending on the intensity of heat). Once the meat is well cooked, set aside and strain the meat off water with a colander. You may choose to fry or grill at this point
In another pot,add a little oil and allow to heat up. Add diced onions and garlic and allow it to fry for 30 seconds ( until it turns translucent).

In another pot, mix the rice and the fried rice sauce in batches.

NB
1) Do season your boiled rice base or use broth; water doesn’t work

2) Don’t overcook your rice. This is the first step to a disastrous fried rice. If the rice is overcooked and mushy, please just remake it

3) Day old rice works best but it’s not a must. If you have a particular day you almost always make fried rice, make your parboiled rice a day before and store in the fridge

4) Season your vegetables while they are chopped and resting, it helps the overall flavour of the prepared rice

5) It’s okay to like your rice a little on the yellow/green side, however you don’t want an overpowering curry taste. Use turmeric for color and curry for flavor
