Method
1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt on both sides.
2. In a 12-inch braiser or saute pan with a lid, melt the coconut oil over medium -high heat.
3. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until very nicely browned. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 5 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
4. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
5. Add the rice and give it a stir, coating each grain with the oil.
