FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I use boneless chicken for Tandoori Chicken Biryani?<\/strong>
A: While the recipe recommends whole chicken legs, you can use boneless chicken if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure the chicken is cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Is it necessary to marinate the chicken overnight for the second marination?<\/strong>
A: Marinating the chicken overnight allows the flavors to penetrate deeply. If you’re short on time, aim for at least 4-6 hours for a well-infused taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I use store-bought Tandoori masala instead of making the marinade from scratch?<\/strong>
A: Yes, you can use store-bought Tandoori masala, but making the marinade from scratch provides a fresher and more customized flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I prepare the Tandoori Chicken on a grill instead of an oven?<\/strong>
A: Absolutely! You can grill the marinated chicken on an outdoor grill or an indoor stovetop grill for a smoky flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Is there a substitute for Kasoori Methi leaves in the Tandoori Chicken marinade?<\/strong> A: If Kasoori Methi leaves are not available, you can omit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I skip the saffron milk garnish in the Biryani?<\/strong>
A: While saffron adds a distinct flavor and color, you can omit it if unavailable. The biryani will still be flavorful and aromatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. How can I prevent the rice from overcooking when layering it with the masala?<\/strong>
A: Ensure the rice is only 3\/4th cooked before straining. This prevents overcooking when layered with the masala and allows it to reach the perfect consistency during the final cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I customize the Biryani masala spice level?<\/strong>
A: Certainly! Adjust the quantity of red chilli powder and green chillies according to your spice preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. How do I know when the Tandoori Chicken is fully cooked in the oven?<\/strong>
A: The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Can I substitute ghee with another cooking oil in the recipe?<\/strong>
A: Yes, you can use another cooking oil instead of ghee, but ghee adds a distinct flavor to the biryani. Adjust according to your taste preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
