Instructions
Creating the Savory Japanese BBQ Chicken Fried Rice Extravaganza is easy and straightforward. Just follow these steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine cubed chicken thighs and teriyaki or BBQ sauce. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender.
5. Add Rice: Stir in the cooked rice, ensuring the rice breaks apart and mixes with the vegetables.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Mix everything together thoroughly.
7. Season: Add salt, pepper, and more BBQ sauce if desired. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions over the top.
9. Serve Immediately: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy while hot.
This simple yet effective recipe ensures that every component of the dish mingles beautifully, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
