- In the same pot put roasted mushroom & mix well. Finally layer the rice with mushroom masala or mix all together.
Stuffing the Chicken:
- Only debone the chicken’s ribcage area with a scissors, this will allow more flavours of the biryani to penetrate the chicken meat.
- Gently stuff the chickens with the mushroom biryani and truss the chicken or simply tie the legs with string so that the stuffing doesn’t fall out.
- Roast chickens in the oven at 170°C for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
