Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1kg Coles Australian RSPCA Approved Chicken Drumsticks
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4cm-piece ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 carrots, cut into long matchsticks
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into long matchsticks
  • 1 tbs cornflour
  • 1 cup (200g) Sunrice Brown Rice & Quinoa
  • 1 avocado, stoned, peeled, sliced

Method

STEP 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning, for 2-3 mins or until golden brown all over. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, 2 tbs sugar and half the vinegar. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high (or 4 hours on low) or until the chicken is falling off the bone.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, combine remaining sugar and vinegar with 1 tbs water in a bowl. Add carrot and cucumber. Season with salt. Toss to combine. Set aside for 2 hours to develop the flavours. Drain.

STEP 3

Cook rice and quinoa in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions. 

STEP 4

Remove chicken from the slow cooker. Transfer 1/2 cup (125ml) of the cooking liquid to a small bowl. Stir in cornflour. Return to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Season. Return chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat in sauce.

STEP 5

Divide the rice and quinoa, avocado, pickled vegetables and chicken among serving plates. Spoon over the sauce.
