Think with any thigh recipe needs cooking far longer than stated for initial period, otherwise tough.

Was OK, the rice needed much more liquid (1:1 rice to water in the recipe when I usually do 1:2) and it may be better with chicken stock rather than water to add more flavour in. Undercooked rice was the main challenge but easily fixed and the heat was fine; it was there but for me not too much. Would also suggest leaving the thighs to keep warm and add at the end so you can stir the rice and still present it with the thighs on top. Will try it again definitely.

Rice needs to cook longer and it’s very spicy, so reduce the harissa/chilli.

Hi Eva, thanks for your helpful feedback! We've reviewed the recipe and made a few changes (reduced harissa, increased rice cook time).

I steamed the rice for an extra 15 mins with the heat off and then it was great! Wasn't quite ready the with the time in the recipe

Absolutely delicious, perhaps suggest cooking the chicken thighs slightly longer but otherwise another great dish
