Ginger-Tumeric Chicken with Rice & Slaw
Product Details
Chicken thighs pick up big color and flavor with this quick marinade, which features lots of bright ginger and a touch of golden turmeric. It’s weeknight easy in the oven, or great on the grill.
Note: The chicken thighs may arrive frozen for freshness. Store them in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost them same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.

What You'll Need

Step 1
To make the marinade, grate or chop ½ cup of fresh ginger. Chop 1 tablespoon garlic. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon salt until completely dissolved. Whisk in 1 tablespoon turmeric and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the ginger and garlic.
Step 2
Remove the chicken from the packaging and cut slits in the skin. Add the chicken to the marinade, turn to coat, and let rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour the marinade over. Roast at 425°F to help start to get the skin golden, 10 minutes. Then turn down the oven to 375°F and continue to cook until no longer pink at the center, 20 minutes longer.
Step 4
Meanwhile, transfer the cabbage slaw to a bowl, drizzle with the juice of ½ lime and 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt, and toss to coat.
Step 5
Reheat the rice in the microwave until steamed through and warm, 1 to 2 minutes or according to package instructions. Slice the green parts of the green onions, reserving the rest for another use.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken to plates and pile the rice and cabbage slaw on the side. Sprinkle with green onions and serve warm.
