Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the chicken thoroughly with spices.
  • Par‑boiling the rice to exactly 75 % doneness.
  • Sealing the tray tightly with foil to trap steam.
  • Baking at the correct temperature (425°F / 220°C) without opening the oven early.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the hot tray.
  • Ensure foil is sealed tightly; steam can cause burns if released suddenly.
