The Halal Guys style Chicken & Rice everyone should know how to make

The Chicken and Rice platter on the streets of NYC is easily one of my favorite dishes. The best thing for us? It's actually quite easy to make at home.

    Since a lot of you were asking, I threw the recipes into myfitnesspal and here are the nutrition amounts per serving. I estimate 3 servings from this recipe though you could probably stretch to 4. Recipe makes 3 servings - Chopped Chicken: 343 cals per serving - Rice: 273 cals per serving Sauces make about 10 tbsp - White Sauce: 71 cals per serving (about a tbsp) - Red Sauce: like 5 cals per serving (only the spices and lemon juice have a bit) Definitely a pretty solid meal. Eat more of the chicken to add more calories, use breast for a little lower calorie. Lots of options here! Also if anyone knows how to just share the link to a recipe on myfitnesspal lemme know!

    A quick tip that adds a ton of flavor: I like to cook the chicken with a ripping hot cast iron to develop a good crust, which invariably causes bits to stick to the pan. At the end of each batch I deglaze the pan with chicken stock, which develops a beautiful pan sauce almost instantly. I toss the chicken in the sauce before removing and move on to the next batch. Highly recommend adding this step! I've been making this for a few weeks for meal prep, and this incredible recipe takes me back to college in Philly.

We brought up the KZread channel and searched for the video and as I started scrolling through I was shocked as I mentioned in conversation, I made that recipe, and that one, and Ethan taught me a great technique you should see in that one…. And wow. I not only watch but put into practice almost every recipe and kitchen hack you’ve introduced to me for years! I started watching this channel when it had about 2.5k subscribers and I’m not surprised to see so many other people appreciate the content.

    Im usually not the commenting type, but i just have to leave this here. You're by far the best home-cooking Channel ive been able to find! I've cooked plenty of your dishes and your website is a nice addition to all these videos you're making. The way you encurage people to cook (and clean at the right time ;D), is something different. I was already a kind of decent homecook but with your help ive been able to step up my game (as a college student, i might add here). There is just one thing i'd love to see in your videos more often. Calories. It would be great if you could do a calorie chart for your dishes. Or maybe some rough estimations. I mean: for this dish, i know whats up with the calories. 200g of chicken: ~ 220 cal 100g of rice with table spoon of butter: 450 cal All in all with salad and tomatoes: ~465 cal (without sauce) White sauce: - 100g Mayo : 630-700cal (depending on the brand you're using) -50g of greek yoghurt: ~25 cal - Vinegar: not sure. But id say -10-25 cal Water: 0cal Total: ~700 cal Red sauce: id just guess at that point and say 100 cal for that bottle? I think it would be a nice addition, because a lot of people, just like me, are getting into homecooking to eat healthy/loose weight etc. A cal chart or some rough estimation for a portion shown, would have helped me at the start and would help a lot of others, i suppose. Anyways: keep up the good work! I really aprechiate all the good videos and the inspiration i can take off of them. :) PS: doing that Chicken and rice dish tonight. Looks delicious and its not common where i live. So i've never had something like it. :)

    Just a tip: Mariante the chicken in yoghurt over night, instead of using mayo. Its very common in the middle east and india/pakistan area to marinate chicken in yoghurt. Also some thin sliced white or red onion goes great with the lettuce and tomatoes.

    Also though we know what our boy Ethan means by halal style lots of people commenting on it...just for the record Halal means permissible. Specifically in the context of food: it means food that is permissible for Muslims. It’s more than just no pork and no alcohol. But it goes into the ethically treating an animal, and specifically method of slaughter the animal as well. Way more details of course, go read up on it from a Muslim source please...since yeah it our topic of expertise. Consider HFSAA (if I put a link, comment likely will get auto blocked)

I've seen him attribute to Kenji before but was wondering why he didn't this time: The fact that he would attribute is something I respect about him as opposed to Adam Ragusea.

    You should make the clarification that what you made isnt HALAL unless you bought the chicken that specifically said it was butchered halal style.

This needs to be made very clear because someone may serve this someone who only eats halal style meat thinking it meets the criteria.
