Tips 

The first and most important thing to remember when making any chicken biryani recipe is to always use a heavy bottomed pan as you don't want the chicken to overcook.

Restaurant's Chicken Biryani recipe uses a whole chicken in the preparation and the chicken breasts can get dry when cooking at home. It is always recommended to use chicken thighs… 

If you want the chicken in biryani to be juicier, do not remove the bones.

When the cooked rice has become sticky, spread it out on a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. The rice is again separated and fluffy. 

Freshly grated spices add the best flavor to a chicken biryani recipe, so be sure to dry the roast.
