  4. Mix the spices with the chicken, and let it marinate for about 30 minutes, or even overnight.
  5. While marinating, turn the chicken occasionally to ensure that the spices penetrate both sides evenly.
  6. Rinse the raw rice to remove any excess water. ≈ 2 min
  7. In a pan, pour in olive oil and warm oil paint.
  8. Dice half of the onion until it is golden brown.

  10. Transfer the rice to a baking dish. ≈ 3 min
  11. In another pan, heat up some oil paint.
  12. Add the remaining half of the onion and cook until golden brown. ≈ 3 min

  15. Arrange the chicken drumsticks on a griddle, on top of the cooked rice. ≈ 3 min
  16. Pour in the chicken broth and milk.
  17. Cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil. ≈ 3 min

  20. The amount can vary from one cup of broth to half a cup of milk, depending on the amount of rice you are using.
  21. Start with 1 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of milk.
  22. If the rice starts to dry out, add another 1/2 cup of milk. ≈ 3 min
