This Fried Chicken Biriyani dish is topped with fried onions, cashew nuts and raisins. Biriyani is a mixed rice preparation with Indian spices, meat or veggies or eggs popular throughout the Indian Sub Continent.

It’s worth the efforts and the success is guaranteed. I want my readers to try the dish at home. To prepare this special biryani dish, marinated chicken pieces are fried separately before layering with cooked rice. There is a bit of preparation work for this biriyani but is worth the efforts.

Fried Chicken Biriyani serves a perfect dish for guests with accompanied raitha. I first tasted the dish at my friend’s place. It was awesome and it was my friend who handed me the recipe. Since then, Fried Chicken Biriyani has been the star of my home. Very wholesome and nutritious this is a power packed dish. No function is ever complete without a biriyani dish. That is the greatness of these biriyanis. I myself is a fan of these type of dishes and almost every weekend I make sure that a biriyani is cooked at home.
