Part 4/8:
Thoroughly mix the marinade with the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated. Seal the mixture and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours; for optimal flavor, letting it sit overnight is recommended.
Cooking the Chicken
Once the marination process is complete, it’s time to bring everything together in a biryani pot. Start by melting ghee (clarified butter) in the pot and adding the marinated chicken, skin side down, to ensure an even cooking layer. Pour over any leftover marinade for added flavor. Allow the chicken to cook over medium to medium-high heat for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, observing as the colors evolve.
