✅ Preparation method:
1. In a frying pan over medium heat, toast the coriander, black pepper, cumin, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, dried chili pepper, and bay leaf. Roast them for a minute until they are fragrant.
2. After roasting, grind the roasted ingredients until smooth.
3. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of ground roasted spices with turmeric, paprika, saffron yolk, and salt.
4. Add tomato juice, oil and tomato paste to the bowl and mix well to form the marinade.
✅ Seasoning the chicken:
1. Divide the chicken in half.
2. Make longitudinal and wide holes in the chicken.
3. Place the chicken in a large bowl and season it with the marinade you prepared. Massage the marinade well into the chicken to ensure all pieces are covered.
4. Leave the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavors infuse.
✅ Cooking chicken:
1. Preheat the oven to high temperature.
2. Place the marinated chicken pieces in an oven tray lined with parchment paper and place them on the middle oven rack.
3. Cook the chicken in the oven for an hour to an hour and a half, or until it is cooked, golden, and has a crispy outer crust.
4. After half an hour of cooking the chicken, reduce the oven temperature to medium and continue cooking it until it is completely cooked and a crispy crust forms on the chicken.
✅ Preparing rice:
1. In a deep pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and stir for two minutes until it becomes soft and slightly browned.
3. Add the grated carrots and stir for an additional minute.
4. Add a teaspoon of ground toasted spices and salt to taste, and stir for an additional minute.
5. Add the washed rice and stir for two minutes until it absorbs the flavors.
6. Add boiling water at a rate of one and a half cups for every cup of rice. Cover the pot and leave it on low heat until the rice is done.
7. After 25 minutes, check if the rice is done. If the rice is cooked and has absorbed the water completely, remove the pot from the heat and leave it covered for a few minutes before serving.
8. After the cooking time is up, you will have oven-roasted chicken with a golden color and a crispy skin, along with perfectly cooked rice and full of flavour.
😍 You can serve it as a delicious main meal with garlic sauce or your favorite side salad. Bon Apetit.
