Notes

You can use any type of cooked rice for this recipe, but it's best to use leftover rice that has been refrigerated overnight. This will help the rice to be less sticky and easier to stir-fry. If you don't have leftover rice, you can cook a fresh batch and let it cool before using it in this recipe.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the oil and chicken. This will help the chicken to brown nicely.
  • You can add other vegetables to this recipe, such as onions, peppers, or broccoli, to make it even more nutritious.
  • If you like your fried rice to be a bit spicier, you can add some chopped chili peppers or red pepper flakes to the wok or skillet when you add the other seasonings.
  • Don't overcook the eggs or they will become rubbery. Cook them just until they are fully set and scramble them into small pieces before mixing them with the other ingredients.
  • If you want to make this recipe even quicker, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it from scratch.

Enjoy your homemade chicken fried rice!
