Ingredients
- 2 cups rice
- 7 tablespoons vegetable oil just under ½ cup
- 2.2 lbs whole chicken cut into parts (drumsticks or bone-in thighs can be used)
- 2 whole onions diced
- 3 carrots julienned
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 tablespoon barberries
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 heads garlic
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse rice until water runs clear. Let it soak in water.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot and sauté onions on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add chicken to pot and fry on high heat for 3 minutes, stirring to brown all sides.
- Add carrots to pot. Fry on high for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon each turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and chili flakes, 1 tablespoon of barberries (if available), 4 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon salt.
- Pour in 2 cups water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Drain the soaked rice and layer it over the chicken. Do not mix. Add more hot water if rice isn't covered by broth.
- Inser whole garlic heads (outer husk removed) into rice. Cover pot tightly and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
- Stir rice gently from the sides to the center. If there's excess broth, poke holes with a stick to the bottom of the pot to let it evaporate. Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Serve your chicken pilaf.
