Chicken: In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients well to coat the chicken pieces evenly with the seasonings.Set aside to marinate for about 20 minutes, if possible.
Rice: Heat butter, oil and Spur Durky Sauce in a heavy-based saucepan.
Add onion and saute for about 2 minutes. Add the rice and all remaining ingredients. Pour into a large oven-proof dish.
Arrange the chicken in the dish over the rice mixture, cover with a lid or foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 60 minutes.
Remove lid and bake chicken uncovered, for a further 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and rice soft.
Place under the grill for a few minutes to brown chicken slightly. Heat Spur Cheddamelt Sauce with milk and drizzle over chicken and rice. Serve warm.
Variations
Add about 125 g coarsely chopped Portobellini or brown mushrooms to the rice.
Substitute the thyme with any other herbs of choice
Tips
Arrange chicken over the middle section of the rice to ensure rice gets cooked.
Bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks are perfect for this recipe, as they stay juicy and don’t dry out like chicken breasts.
