Description
Halal cart-style chicken over rice.
Directions
1. Mix ingredients together for the white sauce and place in refrigerator until the end.
2. Mix ingredients together for the red sauce and place in refrigerator until the end.
3. Mix chicken together with marinade ingredients and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
4. Make the side salad: dice up the tomato and cucumber, mix with lettuce, olive oil, and some salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for now.
5. Melt butter over medium high heat, add spices. Add the rice and fry, then add salt. After 1 minute, add chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, let sit for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork.
6. While the rice is cooking, remove the chicken thighs from the marinade. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add olive oil and heat until barely smoking. Add the chicken thighs and cook on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done.
7. Cut up the chicken, serve over rice with salad. Top with red and white sauces.
