- 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!

Wow thanks. I was just trying to figure out how to calculate this. That’s awesome
If you create it as a food and post it to your diary, other users can see it. I would suggest naming it something like "Ethan's Halal Cart Chicken" so it's super specific and easy to find. Looking forward to trying this recipe!
Hell yes, exactly what I was looking for
This video is terrible. Do you have any idea just how cruel Halal slaughter is?? Wtf, Ethan. You only care about money with this video, don’t you? 😡
The fact that all his fractions of a lemon used add up to exactly one whole lemon in this dish is so satisfying.
Yep, this also reduces food waste during prep!
Thats a very Ethan move.
in the ingredient list
1 lemon
These kind of small details make it sad that he doesn't have 5mil subs
@@thelazyrabbit4220 all in due time young grasshopper
I made this tonight, and as someone who has consumed more portions of late night chicken and rice than I care to admit - it is VERY legit. Only thing missing was the styrofoam container and me being extremely intoxicated.
A+ will make again
Find a smart n final. They sell the styrofoam containers that are used for take out. Not practical, but at least it will feel nostalgic
Did the white sauce taste the same?
They don't use a Styrofoam container.
The Halal Guys doesn't use styrofoam tho.
@@carlover4239 The standalone brick and mortar restaurants don't, but I've definitely gotten a platter in a styrofoam container from carts in the city (specifically thinking of the one that used to be right near all of the NYU bars). That was nearly 10 years ago though, so maybe they've updated the carts to use the aluminum/plastic containers as well.
Just bought chicken after a real good workout and asking myself what to cook with it AND here is my man just giving me the perfect video right when I need it.
One of the most satsifying post workout meals 💪
Same, I‘m going to the supermarket to buy all the stuff.
Seriously this man has brilliant timing.
@@EthanChlebowski
This video is terrible. Do you have any idea just how cruel Halal slaughter is?? Wtf, Ethan. You only care about money with this video, don’t you? 😡
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 "dO yOu hAvE aNy iDeA jUsT hOw CrUeL Halal sLaUgHter iS?" yes as long as it taste good it's fine... and if you are so worried about animal cruelty then go about saying the same to all other types of slaughtering there exists... Because the loss of life is exactly the same in all kind of slaughtering... Don't be another lifeless internet hypocrite who sips on to his diet soda and eats subway salad in their moms basement and typing these bs comments and thinking them as proper argument... lol get a life
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.
That’s genius!! Definitely trying that
Do you think its possible to deglaze and cook the rice in the same pan to add more flavor to the rice?
@@TheMilkMan451that sounds like a great idea!
Do you turn the heat off when you toss the chicken back into the stock and how long do you leave in there for?
@@solomonn2102when you deglaze you want to bring to a slight boil and basically get the stock and crispy bits all incorporated into a sauce. If the pan is clean and the sauce is thick enough to leave a trail when you move the spatula through it, it’s ready. You can just turn the heat to low and glaze the chicken in it at this point.
For the rice, soak it 20 minutes prior to cooking. In the pan, put in the bay leaves first, toast it, then the onions, let them brown a bit and then put in the rice, toast them for a bit and then add the spices and broth. You'll get a much better result, trust me
What do you soak the rice in just water or the chicken broth?
@@uhJoshh water. you can cook it with chicken broth
Wholeheartedly agree with soaking the rice first; it just makes the rice better. Long or short grained.
Gonna try this 👍🏿
@@anwarulislamarpon6264 thank you
The only thing left to say: Now Bismillah!
Thank you Ethan, this brings me back to getting Halal with friends at 1am after a concert. Since I left NY I haven't been able to get some, can't wait to try this.
Not sure where you're staying now but they have franchised and opened up across the country now
@@Hellamoody I remember hearing about that, unfortunately the closest one to me is like two hours away :/
@@Rigamarole sorry buddy :(
@@Hellamoody The Halal Guys they have where I live is terrible, unfortunately. Crunchy, undercooked, flavorless PARBOILED rice! The chicken just tasted like it was not marinated the usual way. It tasted like warmed up cooked chicken, with a seasoning packet sprinkled on top. So disappointing. I’ll stick with the mom and pops or hit up the food trucks when I visit NYC again. Until then, I just try to replicate it at home. Way better than that franchise.
Did you try it ?
I used to work at Halal Guys out here in California, last shift of the day too, every day I came back with a massive plate of chicken and rice, great times.
Always a good day when Ethan uploads
Hey Ethan, Just wanted to take the time to thank you for offering this amazing content for everyone in a clean, easy to understand fashion. Your channel is always my go-to for anything in the kitchen. You show us how to improve as home-cooks whilst adding new ideas to make the simple very enjoyable.
You are the best!!!
I didn’t realize how much of an Ethan fanboy I was until a few weeks ago my Mom was talking about trying to make some recipe and I recommended one of Ethan’s. We brought up the TH-cam 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. Thanks Ethan for helping educate me on my cooking journey and enabling me to make so many different types of food over the years that was enjoyed by myself, family and friends!
Love that jazzy vibe in the background. Got me in the mood to cook something
I was feeling it too lol.
@@EthanChlebowski *looking for background music* “oooooh shiiiit” haha
man, where have I been! Ethan, I haven't seen your channel since 15k subs man have you've grown Jesus! I've got some videos to watch don't I but anyways Congrats on the amazing growth much love
Hey well now you have a lot of videos to catch up on! Glad you found your way back.
Anything Middle Eastern is godsent. That food is so incredible with all of the garlic - can’t go more than a few days without eating it!
That’s actually central and south asian afghan and Pakistani cuisine. Arabs don’t grow basmati rice.
@@Lavish1717 what rice is typically in Arab food?
Ethan I've only discovered your channel more recently but you have RIP ROARED your way to the top of my list of fav. cooks. Love the effort and explanation that goes into your videos and I super dig the simple but flavorful dishes without the added excessive calories tacked on. Thanks for doing what you do. I'm off to the store to get ingredients for this for lunch.
You literally read my mind for what to cook this week. Great stuff as always!
Made this for dinner tonight - phenomenal!!! And since I have plenty of both sauces, it'll definitely be in rotation!
Ive made this about 10 times since the video came out and it has turned out AMAZING every single time!
I made this today and it was probably one of the best dishes i personally have ever made. Thanks for the recipe ethan!
Made this tonight and the recipes were perfect. Wouldn’t change a thing. Soooo good. A real halal car experience at home!
God bless you brother ❤️
I've been trying to make this meal for a couple months and have been getting super close to getting it right. You just put me over the top--going to enjoy dinner this week.
Hey Ethan,
Another great recipe! I actually use a lot of your recipes and techniques in my day to day cooking (the pita pizza thing has been a favourite of mine and my friends). I am so happy you're getting the growth you deserve and I'm excited for you to hit a million subs! Keep it up!
This is perfect! Exactly what I needed to try today.
Love the videos!
damn i got so used to the macros at the end haha, would love if you put it in for every recipe. Great job ethan!
definitely, we need em!
Just threw them up in a pinned comment, kind of forgot to on this one!
This has become a staple recipe in my household because my partner and I love it so flipping much. I could honestly eat it every day, it's that good!
Goes especially well over a big salad with Persian cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. A++
My wife and I used to get this dish from a real street cart at least once a week when we lived in Queens, NY. Since moving to AZ, we have not been able to find it at all. I made your recipe and it was almost like a wash of nostalgia when I took my first bite. Nailed it! Will definitely be making it often. And I've already made the white sauce multiple times - I put it on everything!
There’s two halal guys in Phoenix.
Oooh homemade Halal Guys! Instant keeper!
An all time great dish.
Made this last night and the white sauce is absolutely amazing. I tried being healthy and subbed the rice with quinoa but used the same preparation. Highly recommend
Had Halal Guys for the first time in 2018 when I was in San Francisco for a work conference. My coworkers and I were drinking in the hotel room and had a hankering for a late snack. My coworker insisted on the Halal Guys and I'm glad I listened. I've been hooked ever since...
Halal guys? They are called Muslims, guys!
Dude I've just been loving all your videos. I found you last Thanksgiving when I got a free turkey and wanted to know what to do with it and after your Thanksgiving video I knew it was only a matter of time before you blew up because your content really speaks for itself.
I've made it yesterday and I have to say - this is one of the best dishes I've ever had. It was so good I ate it 3 times already. A very solid recipe, thank you!
Always so concise, I always click knowing it's just 5 mins of quality content
Hello. I currently am a cook at the one and only Halal Guys in Colorado. And look at this! A perfect homemade recreation of the platter.
Indeed. The sauces are to die for.
I do wish the chicken was cooked in a mayo-based marinade, but it's just vingear and spices for us.
I was really tired yesterday and looked for an easy chicken and rice inspiration and I found this recipe! The white sauce was a great cooling sauce for spicy chicken! I made the yellow rice in my rice cooker and threw in a chopped 1/2 orange bell pepper, a large jalapeno as well as a handful of kale and baby spinach combo towards the end of the cooktime. I used frozen marinated chicken inspired by your meal prep videos! So thank you twice!! I'm a home cook who usually has the time but not always the energy.
I cant thank you enough for this upload, as a former new yorker living in tampa florida i severely missed this culinary masterpiece. I make this dish a few times a month, and it hits the spot!
Looks great! Something I also really like doing with this style of dish is chopping up the chicken thighs beforehand into really small, almost doner-sized pieces - that way you get a lot of surface area for the spices + browning to really pack a punch flavour wise... it is a bit more of a hassle though
Just made this tonight and it was amaaaaaazing. I added a chili to the hot sauce to thicken it up a bit, but otherwise was fairly by the book. The butter in that rice makes a crazy difference to the flavor. Probably the thing I appreciate the most about this dish is how achievable it is: you can buy everything from a standard grocery store, you don't need any special equipment, and it's not too intensive to cook
Amazing recipe bro !! Tried it today came out perfect!! Love that your recipes are simple and easy to follow without complicated steps or random ingredients that no one can find !! Great job man !! Appreciate you and hope you grow even faster !!🎉
I love that you're passionate about food and it shows. Keep up the good work!
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. :)
We just had to make this tonight after watching your video, and wow was it delicious. I can always trust that your recipes come out amazing. Thanks for all the hard work you’re doing!
Been watching you for a few weeks, just started a new training regime, wanted to pick up a new dish to add to regular rotation, used to live in NYC - Made this tonight and absolutely loved it! Thanks mate
I've made this several times during the pandemic, one of my favorites to make ever! For the rice, I do all of that and then transfer it into my rice cooker so I don't burn the rice or get it stuck to the pan. Also, Sriracha is a perfect replacement if you don't want to make your own hot sauce. That meat marinade also works really well with beef too!
Great tips. I was thinking Louisiana Hot Sauce (that's my fave). 🤗
That sounds amazing!
My favorite chicken and rice is Jamaican jerk chicken with lots of onions and rice. There's a fantastic seasoning blend that's made local to me - kicks the ass of all others.
*Pluto's*
Awesome stuff...
2:52 I don’t know how I never thought to do this, but you sir have just changed my life
i have to admit. Of all the food utubers, your channel is the only one i consistently go back too. It has great recipes and is educational on cooking techniques!
Combine the yellow rice, white and red sauces from this with the chicken and paratha from Kathi roll video. Best meal I've ever had. I've been making it for months straight and still not tired of it.
Kenji's endorsement of this specific video got me to finally try one of your recipes, and man I'm so glad I did! It was DELISH!
where did he
@@hamzie11 he made a community post on TH-cam sharing this video
Made this the other night for my husband and I, and we absolutely loved it! The white sauce takes this to the next level. Leftovers are also delicious. This is definitely going to be in our regular meal rotation.
This recipe is 🔥🔥🔥 seriously can’t stop thinking about how good it turned out. Thanks Ethan!
Update: I made this specific rendition and wow wow wow was it delicious. Doing the hot sauce recipe mentioned here really complimented the dish.
Nooooo Ethan! I’ve been looking for a recipe for their red sauce for quite some time now and got so excited to see you posted one! How do I match the heat and flavor at the same time? Other than that, great moves! Keep it up!
Hey. THIS is my go to EVERY time I'm in NYC. Thanks for posting. I WILL, be trying this.!
This took me right back to eating halal cart for lunch on the streets of Philly. Thanks for giving me a way to make one of my all-time favorite meals!
I was actually surprised when I turned away for 1-minute and the video was already over, your videos are short and don't drag out more than necessary. Always a joy to watch, every second is well worth watching and I never feel bored from seeing you upload! (which is more than I can say for Weissman..) Keep it up, E! :)
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.
And a sprinkle of sumac to finish
Recently discovered your stuff and definitely one of my favorite channels now. Good stuff!
this is just what I needed, honestly you are my favorite cooking channel : D
BTW DUKES MAYO FTWWWWWW! I love ittttt
Just made this. I knew it was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be this good. I could eat it every day for the rest of my life
Your comment make me want to gives this recipe a try Jajaj thank you!
I've made this a few times also based off of the SeriousEats recipe, nice to see you tweaked it a bit. It's seriously good.
I made this yesterday. All of it.
10/10. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe it was perfect.
You have a gift for sharing lots of useful ideas and info without making it overwhelming or boring. Keep it up. We home cooks need this channel ❤
Perfect anabolic dish, Ethan! I prepare something very similar, first sautee vegetables, add in the rice, maybe some white wine. Put everything in the oven with some chicken thighs and cover with a lot of broth after that bake.
White wine isnt halal!
@@cocnut I didn't say anything about HALAL, lol. I don't even know what this is :D
@@TheSlavChef It was a joke. Muslims cant drink alcohol so it wouldn't have been halal.
@@cocnut i see, i couldn't get the joke at first, but now i do.
I've been making Kenji's version for years and its my favorite thing to make.
Protip: cut pickles, cucumber and sliced onion go well with the salad portion. its bomb
Hey do you have a link to this? Much appreciated!
Keep up the diverse meal recipes! I can't wait to try this.
Just made this today, and your orzo salad recipe yesterday. Incredible recipes, Ethan!
Just wanted to thank you for your simple and delicious recipe, Big Chlebowski. I've been trying to learn to cook for years but the ridiculous ingredient list, overcareful recipes and mediocre results always made it unsatisfying.
Now i'm cooking confidently and learning methods, instead of recipes one at a time. It's even possible to take parts of some of your recipes and mix them with others and it still slaps.
Also big kudos for those ratio tables you often make and the recommendation of the book "Ratio".
See you at 1.5 mill subs I hope!
A few pro tips from someone that has made a variation of this recipe a million times:
-Cooking the chicken by putting it under the broiler for 7-10 minutes makes this the easiest recipe ever
-The chicken also makes a damn good chicken sandwich with the same accoutrements of lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun
-Can’t overdo the lemon or coriander in this. Those are the stars of the show. Lemon zest makes it even better
You mean in the marinade or the sauce? Ethan did not put any coriander in.
@@Finn959 I put it in the chicken marinade. I use a variation of the serious eats recipe for the same dish.
@@jacobcamenzind6365 Do you think this one would be better or should I go with SE? Coriander seems like it'd be great with these flavors.
@@kermdeezy5330 big fan of the serious eats one but I think Ethan’s really onto something with his Mayo marinades. Just take Ethan’s and bump up the lemon+coriander and I bet it would be great
I just made my own version yesterday and im happy to say it was fairly similar! But definitely am going to try this again!!
Thanks for this recipe. I made it for my son's birthday as Halal Guys is one of his favorite eats. I chose your recipe because of the chicken cooking method (no marinating in an oil preparation & chopping in the pan) as well as the white sauce, which was delicious. A keeper for sure.
I've been making J. Kenji's take on this for years, it's a bit different but also fantastic!
Me too. I find their white sauce a bit too sweet so I reduce the amount of sugar around half. They don’t have a recipe for red sauce so I use this and it goes perfect.
24 small dry red chiles, Soaked in Boiling Water, Drained and Seeded
6 Tbsp Reserved Water from Soaking Chiles
6 clove Garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Vinegar
2 tsp Ground Caraway
2 tsp Ground Coriander
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Salt
Blend all.
Made this today and it was very good. Like a fresher version of halal guys. Only company is the recipe on the site does not match everything done in the video
I've made this recipe like 4 times this month, really love it!
I was waiting for this video, love this type of food, thanks!!!
Halal Style is def the best style 💯
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)
Thank you Ethan...
I was one of your first subs...
I made this request a year ago i think then again last week..i remember you ask for suggestions..im glad you listen..
For some reason your recipe breakdowns are the best..& remind me of myself..i am also detailed orientated & love to do research...but it manifests itself in me as talking to much..the chicken& rice is almost the exact recipe ive been doing for years..i just use regular hot sauce..i feel confident because you just validated my version..
you have no idea what a compliment that is coming from me..
Do let it go to your head..you deserve it
Ive watched you build yourself up from the very beginning & grow on some diy ish..you are my inspiration & hero..
Im getting choked up..let me..im starting to cry...
More suggestions to come..good luck..
I found you channel after you video with Babish and i've already got a bunch of recipes i want to try out. Thanks for making the videos and making them easy to follow for casual home cooks like myself. :D
Keep it up dude!
looks delicious, I try the way is marinate the chicken, thank you for sharing, blessings from Honduras🤗💞
I was actually thinking you'd use halal chicken but nvm. Its a great recipe nonetheless
Same thought!
OH nice short but so satisfying video, simple rice and chicken but the flavors in it makes it! Can't wait to make this Wednesday! 😀😀
Thanks! Tried this and turned out amazing. For the white sauce, instead of the vinegar, added lemon zest and another squeeze of lime. Was awesome
Do you usually wash the rice before you toast it or do you just go in dry?
In the video its dry, i assume its because you want the starch for this part
When you say the sauces store for a long time are we talking weeks? Months?
Years!
Decades!
Centuries!
Eternity!
@@rahatj9612 hey! We have similar names!
Just made this tonight. Was so legit, much love for the upload, thanks brother
You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this recipe!!!
Some quick advice, if you are cooking the chicken in a non-stick pan, DO NOT chop up the chicken in the pan, unless you want to ruin the Teflon
You're normally really good at attributing recipes to where you found them: Is this meaningfully different than Kenji's recipe?
Easily the most passive aggressive comment Ive read in a while. Say it with your chest or don't say it.
If they are both copying a street food classic, why does it matter?
Kenji didn’t invent this (nor does he claim to) and this is just the common recipe used by New Yorkers for years now trying to replicate halal kart food. Not to mention a lot of this is just vaguely middle eastern/south Asian cooking in general. Why be so passive aggressive over something Kenji has no real ownership over?
You're right Kenji didn't invent this, and I'm not sure if Kenji came up with his own recipe or not. It's why I left it open ended because I didn't feel like comparing the two recipes. 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.
I have never been disappointed by any single video this man has made. Great content!
I made this last week and it was absolutely amazing, thanks Ethan!
Halal ain't a type of cuisine. Just coined after the food cart in NYC.
What do you have against coinage? Lol
@@adamkhan7234 Because it disconnects from the meaning of the word. This is a middle eastern type of dish, could be served in Arab countries, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Greece... Halal just means in agreement with Islamic dietary laws. Even sushi can be Halal...
@@Lior621 That's the natural flow of colloquialisms, right. I agree it should probably say 'halal guys' style. But the main thing in this channel is the food, not a religious reference point, and some people are gonna learn something about halal from all the yt comments on this vid and that wouldn't have happened without the vid title, so I'm not mad about it.
@@adamkhan7234 I'm fine with it too 😂 in this context having the comments is a beneficial thing so you're right
@@Lior621 😂 ikr... A diferent vid and the comments would be a battlefield. My only battle rn is not drooling while I watch, lols
As Asian, it hurts when you add salt on rice, You are suppose to add salt in chicken water you added in rice.
The more I watch your videos the more I am addicted to your channel. Thank you! I tried this recipe and it was amazing. It definitely helps with the New York Chicken and Rice cravings.
Love the content you put out.
"The halal style"
Not sure if halal even qualifies as a style though, oof
It’s in the style of a restaurant called halal guys in NYC lmao I didn’t understand it at first either
You should make the clarification that what you made isnt HALAL unless you bought the chicken that specifically said it was butchered halal style. Halal is a style of butchering like how kosher is but done by muslim law specifications. This needs to be made very clear because someone may serve this someone who only eats halal style meat thinking it meets the criteria.
You are correct. My guess is that he didn't want say the companies name in this title.
Unless he changed the title of the video, it said "halal STYLE chicken and rice" copied from the restaurant food cart The Halal Guys whose only dish they serve is this chicken (and lamb) over yellow rice, etc.
@@sandgaijin correct but I would bet that they get their meat butchered halal style. I looked it up afterward posting and yes all of the meat the Halal guys use are butchered Halal style which is why they have it in their name. So while it is mimicking their recipe they have the word halal in their name for a reason.
This was implied in the start of the video where he refers to "halal" as the "halal guys" recipe. Also, anyone with a few brain cells would understand that halal ingredients is necessary to make halal food. All of that should be totally clear even without mentioning
@@de0509 Actually, a lot of people who arent muslim dont know what halal even means let alone what it takes for meat to be halal so your last statement is definitely off.
This is the most satisfying video I ever seen right after jogging outside.. plus I have all the recipe you just mention and about to make it now without rice
This recipe has me salivating! I am saving this to try soon!
You know Halal is not a food style but a food code right?
Halal is often used to refer to a food style as well.
