Cooked 12 minutes and used only 1/2 the liquid. Had little taste won’t make again
Cooked with no additional liquid, just juices from chicken and oil. Kosher salt, minced garlic, papirika, a little cumin, garlic powder and onion powder. Amazing!!
Make sure to follow the instruction properly and use full amount of liquid mentioned in the ingredients.
If cooking more then lb would it be better to split it up or cook all at once we have a big family.
Of course you can cook in a large batch. But make sure to keep the ratio of ingredients proper.
This was great. I was a little nervous about not dumping water in it but it wasn’t needed. The only problem is that me and family all wanted more. Next time, I’ll make double. I would add just a little more garlic as we’re garlic lovers here.
I am obliged that you liked the recipe.
