[@emcsquard]

This looks great and I bet it tastes wonderful....most halal chicken and rice carts use a blend of shawarma and chicken tikka spice on the chicken that's the super red color of the chicken...I asked and was told this in New York and Philly. The Halal Guys red sauce is thick red pepper red chilli hot sauce with lemon juice instead of vinegar...

[@rasway6700]

Decided that I was going to make this yesterday, but still needed a few things. Went to the store forgot the chilies to make the sauce, so I tried your idea and used siracha instead. Added coriander, clove, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and water. It tastes just like the halal spot not far from home. Thank you❤ Only thing I messed up was the rice. I washed it several times until the water was clear, but I think I let it boil too long before turning the heat down. Turned out clumpy/mushy, but the flavor and color were good. Wanted to throw it out so bad, and try the rice again, but hopefully better luck next time.

[@WhatsCookingWithFariyal]

Awww I'm so glad it was good for you. Try again next time on the rice when you make the chicken again. Thanks for letting me know on how it turned out. I appreciate it

[@rasway6700]

Update: so I retried the rice. I rinsed it, cooked it properly. I check on it after turning the heat to realize it’s becoming mushy AGAIN. I check the packaging and the instructions says, soak for 15 min, and do not rinse.🤦🏾‍♀️Hopefully the 3rd time will be a charm….smh. Flavor wasn’t bad, but not as good as the first. But the texture was better🤷🏾‍♀️

[@WhatsCookingWithFariyal]

@@rasway6700 are you allowing the rice to cook on low heat after the first boil? I'm not sure besides the rice package saying do not wash. It might be the type of rice you're using. Seems like an instant type of rice. See if you can find basmati rice. It should not be getting mushy so quickly unless it's an instant rice which is usually prewashed or also parboiled already.

[@rasway6700]

@@WhatsCookingWithFariyal I believe it is even tho it doesn’t say instant. Just says soak for 15 mins and do not rinse. 10 min cook time. Mahatma basmati rice. Got it from Harris teeter lol. I have not tried it since the second time, but will do it again soon and follow the package. After I finish the bag, I won’t be repurchasing tho. Thank you much for your feed back love. When I get it right, I will be updating you❤️

The Halal Guys’ incredible journey begins in 1990 with our three Egyptian founders. They first started a hot dog cart in New York City, then pivoted to selling halal food to Muslim taxi drivers who at the time had few outlets for authentic halal food in the five boroughs. Thus, our famous platters of chicken and gyro over rice, falafel sandwiches, and crave-able sauces were born.

[@WhatsCookingWithFariyal]

Beautiful history to the halal guys. Love their food!
