1. Add enough water to cover the chicken, then place the tray in the oven on the highest heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the strength of your oven and whether you want it well roasted or with a little sauce...
   Timers: 120 min
2. After washing the rice, soak it in hot water for about 15 minutes with a pinch of salt.
   Timers: 15 min
3. (You can use 1 cup of rice for every 1 1/2 cups of boiling water.)
4. Put the boiling water in a pot with a little vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon ghee, and salt, then add the rice after draining it in a strainer.
5. Leave the rice over high heat, covered. When the water dries up and only a little remains at the bottom of the pot, reduce the heat and add the saffron soaked in a little orange blossom water or rose water, plus a small pinch of saffron powder and a little water. Drizzle it over in lines and let it steam for half an hour until the rice is well cooked.
6. (You can use a special rice towel under the lid to absorb the moisture while steaming.)
