    The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.

    That rice was heinous though.

      The chicken itself is probably fine.

      Duck a’laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.

      One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.

      I think this dish is better than it’s made out to be.

      Fuck that rice though

      That rice could probably have been cooked for another hour or two. I mean, I’m sure that you can still see the individual grains.

        I’ve never put chicken stock in a rice cooker, but I kind of need to know.

        I did steam some nachos in there one time. They came out perfect. When I excitedly told a few friends, they all universally gave me concerned looks. I decided to retire the recipe while I still had people around me who weren’t ashamed to be near me.

          Look up “arroz con pollo” and you’ll get a universe of options. Ate it all the time growing up a dozen different ways, it was a staple.

    I mean soda as glaze is not uncommon. Coca cola can be used as a glaze base for pork spare ribs in chinese cooking. It’s basically just a sweet dark glaze at that point

    I’ve seen people use soda in seafood boil as well but no clue if that tastes good.

    The rice was pretty bad though. Thats the you should probably just buy a rice cooker kinda rice
