I started posting on Tik Tok in 2020 during quarantine as a fluke. My friend asked me to cook on Tik Tok, I didn’t even know how to work the app and I wasn't even on social media at all except a private account with a few friends and family. So, out of sheer boredom I decided to oblige and make a recipe for my friend to follow and even though I didn't know how to work Tik Tok my son knew how and Anthony filmed me making my first recipe! It did pretty well for a no name person just making a recipe, so I kept going. About the 5th recipe I ever posted was Stick of Butter Rice, it went massively viral hitting about a million views in a few hours and it is now sitting at about 10 million views! This is quite possibly the best way to make rice in the oven that takes about five minutes to prep and the result is world class delicious! So, I decided I was going to kick this up a notch and make it a full meal. This Stick of Butter Chicken and Rice still has the ease and charm of the original Stick of Butter Rice just with a few upgrades and boneless skinless chicken thighs. Are you ready for the best recipe? Let's make it!
