Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Place chicken skin-side down in the pan without moving. Sear 8–9 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Flip chicken and cook 6–7 minutes more until the internal temperature hits 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 5
Push chicken to the side. Add minced garlic to the empty space and stir constantly for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour fish sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat. Divide rice and chicken between plates, top with scallions and serve with lime wedges.
