Nice! I'm posting *recipe at bottom* for others (hint, hint...) Hopefully constructive comments: (a) music gets annoying fast :-) (b) post recipe! I had to re-watch marinade section 3-4 times to write it down (c) fix spelling of "oilive" oil, what is "1 lemon juice"? - juice of 1 lemon or are units missing?, how much chicken? and what liquid & how much are you adding to the rice? To misquote Yoda: "Do, or do not. There is no 'well, that's most-of-it'" If you're bothering to film and title it, get that last 10% in! >;-) Of the 20,000 views so far, I bet at least a few others who may've tried to cook this would've benefited too... (It's really nice when at the end you post a shot with the ingredient list and shorthand recipe for people to freeze the playback and write it down, or take a screenshot.)
NYC Halal Street Cart Chicken
Sauce: 2 tsp yogurt / 3 tsp mayo / 2 Tbsp lemon juice / salt + pepper -- mix all
Chix marinade: 1/4 c olive oil / juice of 1 lemon (?) / 4 cloves garlic, chopped / 1 tsp dried oregano / 2 tsp ground coriander / 1.5 tsp salt. Toss w/ chix (HOW MUCH?) and marinate for min of 15m. Saute' chix in oil until browned, remove.
Add to pan 2 Tbsp butter, 1 tsp cumin, 1.5 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp salt. Add 2 c basmati rice and cook/stir for a bit. Add 2 cups (?!?!?!) of what looks like chicken stock (!?!?!); scrape up brown bits. Bring to boil & cook covered for 15m. Slice/chop up chix, serve over rice, drizzle w/ sauce.
I miss that food in NYC...I'm going to try this...
So delicious jon keep up the good work.
I think you outdid them! The rice with all that flavor is hard to do in a food cart with their kind of volume. but you need the red hot sauce they have!
I'm thinking about using some salsa picante for the red sauce
Spot on. 10/10 esp the white sauce.
How much liquid went into the rice? My opinion is 4 cups of liquid. I prefer to use chicken stock. That big glass measuring cup was full of liquid, and looked alot more than just 2 cups. If you google long grain rice to water ratio, it suggest 2 cups liquid to 1 cup rice. I have also cooked long grain rice with a 1 to 1.5 ratio. But for me it ends up too dry. So my personal favorite is 2 to 1 ratio.. Also after cooking rice for 15 minutes, and turning off heat, I like to let my rice sit for 10 more minutes before I remove the top. All of what I have said, is my opinion my personal preference and best guess. Good luck
No pepper used to marinate chicken?
Hi Jon, at 3:07 was that 2 cups of water or chicken stock that you poured over the basmati rice?
I'm not sure what he uses, but I make this at home with an almost identical recipe and I use 2 1/2 cups chicken broth and it comes out slammin =)
Thanks for the response Vinny. I've been making it based on the directions from the video ''NYC Street Cart Style Chicken & Rice'' which includes the directions to make the white sauce, chicken and the rice too. That recipe calls for 2 cups of chicken stock and it turns out great. I'm hooked I can't stop eating this stuff !!
THIS MUSIC IS ATROCIOUS
White sauce doesn't taste like the food cart one...
Roshan Dhali I add minced garlic and cucumber
@@PorknBeanJuice I made everything according to the video, but it tastes nothing like the ones in the cart
