Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the water is absorbed.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 7
While the rice simmers, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the marinated chicken quarters on a baking rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
⏱️ 60 minutes - 8
To add the smoky flavor, place a small heatproof bowl or piece of foil in the center of the cooked rice. Heat the piece of charcoal over an open flame until red hot. Carefully place the hot charcoal in the bowl/foil. Drizzle a teaspoon of oil over the charcoal and immediately cover the pot tightly with a lid or foil.
