Halal cart chicken is boldly spiced and served with fragrant turmeric rice and spicy yogurt sauce. The perfect copycat of NYC street food.
This was great! I chose to grill the chicken instead. Excellent choice. This was great and the sauce gets better after it sits a day so I recommend making it a day ahead of time.

Really enjoyed this recipe. I only had chicken breasts on hand so I didn't use the suggested thighs, however they grilled up perfectly moist on the BBQ for about 40/45 mins on low/med heat (turning often.) Try this recipe if you enjoy halal chicken and nice depth of flavor Thanks!
Excellent recipe. Very easy to make. I did make my own white sauce as I top the chicken with the more traditional harissa sauce but Sriracha is a good substitute. The rice came out great too. I don't have a Dutch oven so just used a nonstick pot. Will definitely make again.
Not being from NYC, the term "Halal cart" was unfamiliar. But liking Mediterranean food, this looked promising. Verdict? This is SO GOOD! The mixtures of tastes are just about perfect. I made it as per the recipe with a few minor tweaks: I substituted brown rice for white (with increased liquid) and did both the dry cooking and steam cooking in a rice cooker. I substituted olive oil for half the butter (equally authentic and better nutrition). I only had chicken breasts so used those and grilled them on our grill. None of those would have a huge effect on the taste and one could make it exactly as per the recipe and it would be excellent.
This was super tasty! Followed exactly as written. I did make the sauce a day in advance, so the flavors blended. The star was the rice tho! Man that was amazing! I think we made more of that for lunch the next day.
