Chef Jon. I just wanted you to know that I have watched your videos for over 6 years and that due to your online tutelage, I won my fiance's heart (and stomach :) ) over multiple times. We now have a child and are set to be wed towards the end of this year. I wished to express my gratitude to you. Thank you good sir.

We cut some thick slabs of cauliflower and buried them under the rice. Didn't alter the recipe in any way and we ended up with delicious cauliflower roasted in chicken drippings to go with the delicious crisp rice and chicken. This is a really fantastic recipe.

Dry lime powder is jet black and awesome-looking but that’s not why it is a necessity in every Saudi household, it’s because it has this very unique sourness with a subtle bitter aftertaste and it makes every tomato-based dish 100% better. Will try this recipe with added lime power and I hope it turns out as stunning as the one you filmed! 🙏🏻

I made this last night and it was amazingly yummy. Thank you for this great recipe Chef John. Your right about not making this sauce too tangy, it was perfect. I didn't have saffron at home so I used turmeric powder to make my rice yellow and it was still very nice.

The chicken and rice combo is epic in all its varieties, love this!

"To the unsalted butter, add some salt."

"And I'm not even sure I want you looking at it" 😂😂 I love you Chef John!

I did this dish last night - DELICIOUS! And as skeptical I was cooking the rice so long in a hot oven, it came out amazing - crunchy chewy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. WOW! Thanks Chef John.

Anyone else breath in heavily at the 5:30 "hold on a second?"

"Oh yeah I am looking at you Italian chilli flakes" 🤣 and yes I was a little worried about the double cooked rice but thanks for the clarification 👍 Greetings from Egypt

Chef John… That was by far...the most excellent, exotic, juicy, tender, delicious, can’t say it in words... best dish- I’ve ever had! Thank you! Thank you so much! I have been cooking -several of your dishes for the last ...feels like at least a decade if not more… My husband is a excellent chef and I am always nervous to cook around him but having you in my back pocket and cooking the dishes that you have created… My husband is impressed with my cooking now LOL! Thank you again! Please keep cooking for another couple more decades… For I can’t live without your recipes!🙏 (PS I did leave out the cinnamon LOL that much I know my husband doesn’t like. He’s sensitive to smell and if he smells any food with cinnamon in it ...if it’s not a dessert he freaks out. He doesn’t feel it belongs in food LOL! But he loved your dish 🥰)

I have Aleppo pepper! I have saffron! I feel so chuffed that I could make this fish with very little shopping needed. I think this would make a great Sunday dinner dish - when we are all allowed to gather around the table, again.

I made this last night...with a couple revisions. Instead of a whole chicken cut up into 8 pieces I used 8 chicken thighs (bone in, skin on). And to the rice I added 1 star anise and 8 whole cloves during the initial cooking (I removed before putting in the casserole dish) which really complemented the spices in the yogurt marinade. The yogurt sauce is a must for serving. Overall a very easy dish to make and delicious! I'll definitely make it again!!

Chef John strikes again! Just made this for the family. So incredibly flavorful! What I loved the most was the Tahdig- like texture that the edge of the rice started to take on. This dish is definitely going in the rotation.

I love his recipes, simple and delicious looking, as well as tasty. What I like most is when he goes for it right in the pot or pan, I do the same thing, then gets a plate and eat . He’s real.

This video is hilarious!!!! And the food looks amazing. I love it here.

I love Chef Cause he's creative, we need more people like that.

I agree adding lemon to the sauce/yogurt makes it more acidic, but what we do in Middle Eastern food is combine yogurt, garlic, lemon, salt and we add tahini (sesame paste) to reduce the acidity of it. Though not sure how it would pair up with this dish.

Thanks Chef John! I needed a dish for my baby-boy's 29th birthday meal!

I made this over the weekend and it was AMAZING. The family loved it. Thanks for an awesome recipe.

After a long stressful day, just one minute into your video and I'm completely relaxed 😌

I think this is one of the most easiest of all the recipes by chef John, looks delicious!

Made this tonight with all chicken thighs, it was so good! Highly recommended, and will be making it again.

Thank you. I made it tonight and it’s absolutely amazing. The chicken is so flavorful, the rice amazing and I even can’t wait for the leftovers.

Looks beautiful so I went and got the stuff to make this almost immediately. The allspice and saffron were new to me and they're *amazing*. Even though I managed to burn the rice a little this is a darn good dish, and even with a freakishly large 6 pound chicken it cooked perfectly in 45 minutes. Thanks Chef John!

Looks good, Chef John! I like that you used a combo of Middle Eastern, N. African, and Mediterranean cuisines. Middle Eastern (oft times labeled as Mediterranean as well) is some of the best!

Believe it or not, this was just what I was looking for! Gonna make this week! Thank you, Chef John.

Ready for this! Thanks, Chef John!👍🏼

I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I made this tonight. While the chicken was marinating, I made chicken broth with the back of the chicken that was left over and used it in the recipe. Pretty convenient! This was freaking excellent! Everybody loved this dish! Another Chef John masterpiece!

This looks so yummy. Can’t wait to try it! I am new to your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you! 🇨🇦

Suddenly I started counting how many times he says the word ‘exotic’ 🤣 always love you chef John!

Thanks for showing this recipe it looks delicious.

Looks so good!Great recipe,Thanks Chef John.👍

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'll be adding this to the menu for this weekend.

making this the 2nd time today! absolutely lovely!

This was *shockingly* good. The whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. Great dish, chef!

Well John you've done it again, an absolute banger! Will be trying this for me dinner date with me nan this week x

This looks delicious! Long time subscriber. Going to be typical and say your voice can calm waters. Looking forward to making this!!

Oh my goodness Yum Yum Yum thank you so much for sharing and have a great day and good morning from Australia 🇦🇺

Oh man, Chef John! You're 5:35 "and looks liiike... " really got me cracking up.. It's one of your signature moves I expect and you curved ball us all!!! Nice one. This is why we ❤

You can get dried limes (limoo amani) at the 22nd and Irving Market in San Francisco. I think they would be great in this dish!

"I'm not sure I want you looking at it." Made me laugh so hard, I spat out my tea.

Thanks for the shout out for Aleppo pepper. How about something with that as the centerpiece? It's so good.

Thank you, Chef!!!

Yes john!!! I'm working without an oven right now. I'm doing ok mate..cheers brilliant vidoes

Looks like a winner - thank you Chef John...

Looks really yum. Thanks

My roommate makes this exact chicken marinade then oven bake it (as for the sauce, yoghurt, mint, cucumber only) and it's my fave chicken dish! Sometimes it's paired with rice, sometimes arabic flat bread. Delicious!

I had my doubts during this video, like the addressed 'why add water to the sauce instead of lemon juice, and baking already cooked rice for another 45 minutes'? But you backed up and explained those choices right away, now that's explaining a recipe done right!

I can't wait to make this! Thank you!

More seafood recipes please!!! Love watching your videos.

Just made this, definitely a new family favourite! I mixed some cauliflower and green beans in the rice to get a bit of veg in there. Perfect meal! Thanks for such a great recipe!

This is great. I was thinking just yesterday that I haven't bought a whole chicken in a while, and I was wondering what way to go with it if I get one for the weekend. Then, voila!

I made this tonight and two thumbs up 👍 👍 I used 8 chicken thighs with bones and skin. Had it with a Spanish dry white wine and it was oh so good. Thanks! This will definitely have an encore. Cheers 🥂

Nice mix of Greek, levantine and Indian. Gonna have to make this one.

We cook a very similar rice dish at home, if you're feeling extra exotic I'd recommend adding some raisins - yes raisins! - to the rice. It adds a sweet surprise to some bites!
