Chicken Mandi

Wash and clean 2 whole chickens, slice in half.

Soak rice in water for about 1 hour.

In a pan, add water and the chicken, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes.

In oil, fry onions until golden brown, then transfer to a bowl.

After 15-20 minutes, add spices and whole garlic to the chicken, cover, and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

Place cooked chicken on a tray, brush with saffron or food coloring mixed with water, and add whole garlic.

Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

Mix the stock from the chicken and oil with the rice, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Cover and cook rice on high heat for 10 minutes, then reduce to low heat and cook for another 15 minutes.

For smoking, add hot charcoal with oil to the rice, cover tightly with a towel, and let it sit for 5-7 minutes.

Serve the chicken and rice.
