1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, calamansi juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2
Cook the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3
Add Marinade
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4
Prepare the Garlic Fried Rice
In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 4 cups of cooked rice and stir-fry until heated through. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
5
Prepare Pickled Vegetables
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of thinly sliced carrots, 1 cup of thinly sliced cucumbers, and 1 cup of vinegar. Add sugar and salt to taste. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
