For this quick dinner, chicken gets a crisp crust thanks to a touch of cornstarch. This recipe calls for quick-cooking white rice to save time, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand and follow the package directions.

Cooks' Note

Feel free to substitute traditional white or brown rice for quick-cooking rice. Make this meal gluten-free by substituting tamari for the soy sauce.

Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.
