About This Recipe:
NYC is undeniably the most diverse and interesting place in the world (I might also be biased,) and that leads to the most diverse and interesting food. All over Queens & Manhattan, halal carts can be found serving tasty chicken over rice. After some experimenting, I think I have nailed the at home halal style chicken. I usually have no patience for marinading, but this recipe is all about the marinade. If you’re in a time crunch just 30 minutes will do, but I like to marinade this for 12-24 hours. It creates the juiciest and most flavorful chicken, and is well worth the wait. And you cannot forget the white and red sauce!
Enjoy!
