Street Eats: The Best Halal

Hellz yeah. Any night that ends in a trip here is a good night.

You are so right. Hung out under their awning on many a cold night. Another key to their superiority is they use real rice - basmati, I think - instead of that parboiled Uncle Ben's crap.

There is no such thing as a recipe for halal chicken. To be halal, the chicken just has to be raised in the appropriate way (discussed in the article) and slaughtered by cutting the windpipe. There is also the condition of mentioning the name of God when killing the animal, but scholars differ on how necessary it is to do this. Obviously none of this is what's usually meant by the word "recipe."
