Pour in the chicken stock and Staffords Coconut Milk. Stir to mix briefly.
Place the lid on the pot and transfer to the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes while you brown the chicken.
Heat a fresh dollop of coconut oil in a large frying pan.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and sear until well caramelised on both sides.
Switch the heat off and add the Staffords Teriyaki Sauce to the pan.
Toss to coat the chicken.
Carefully remove the rice from the oven.
Nestle the glazed chicken thighs into the rice.
Cover with the lid and return to the oven for another 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and season with salt just before serving.
Serve the super fragrant sticky coconut chicken and rice with a spoonful of salsa on top.
Scatter with toasted cashew nuts and fresh coriander. Enjoy!
