| Boilerpipe Text | Biryani is a rice dish from the Indian subcontinent and is very popular here in Kuwait since most Arab dishes originated from India. Most Filipinos here in Kuwait like to eat biryani, but they dislike the spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron that it is flavored with. I don't care for these spices, so I made this fried chicken biryani recipe in my way with the spices Filipinos prefer.

Crowd-pleaser
Worth the effort
The layers of flavour in this dish are incredible. It does take a little time and effort to make (especially when you factor in the rice soaking and cooking steps), but it's definitely a crowd pleaser. You really need to use bone-in chicken pieces for this to retain the juiciness, so don't be tempted to use breast meat.

| Readable Markdown | Biryani is a rice dish from the Indian subcontinent and is very popular here in Kuwait since most Arab dishes originated from India. Most Filipinos here in Kuwait like to eat biryani, but they dislike the spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron that it is flavored with. I don't care for these spices, so I made this fried chicken biryani recipe in my way with the spices Filipinos prefer.
