. While the chicken is marinating, rinse and drain the rice 2 to 3 times,then soak in water for 20 minutes.
Tip
Chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours in the fridge. The longer you marinate the better the flavors will be.
Crispy Onions
. While the rice is soaking, add ghee to a heavy – bottomed pan and add onions.
. On medium heat, fry the onions stirring frequently until they start to turn golden brown – about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the Fried Onions from the pan, leaving the excess ghee behind as we will use this pan to cook the chicken.
Tip
Save time by frying the onions a day ahead! For a healthier option with less ghee, try my airfryer crispy Onions recipe.
Parboil The Rice

. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water. Bring the rice to a full boil on high heat. Lower the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes or until the rice is about 90% cooked. Drain the rice promptly and reserve.
Tip
. Make sure to use aged extra long grain Basmati rice for most authentic flavour and texture.
Cook The Chicken and layer The Rice
. To the pan with the remaining ghee, add the marinated chicken. Cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through .
. Then, gently layer The partially cooked rice over the chicken.
. Top with caramelized onions and saffron infused milk.
. Cover the pot and seal it with aluminium foil, then place some weight on top of the lid. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, this is the steam or “Dum” cooking step. Turn the heat off and wait another 10 minutes before opening the pot.
Tip
Before serving allow the biryani to sit uncovered for 5 minutes. Gently fluff the rice using a frock or a silicone spatula. This will help the delicate rice grains to firm up a bit preventing them from breaking.
Serving
Serve Biryani hot with some yogurt, lemon wedges, and a cooling cucumber raita or beet raita. Pair it with mango lassi or rose lassi for satisfying meal. Want to know my fevorite dessert to pair with biryani it’s hands down the corrot halwa or rice kheer .

To reheat thaw the biryani overnight in the refrigerator and them microwave or steam in the instent pot using pot method. Let me know in the comments how you liked my chicken biryani thanks.
