Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients.
  • If you don't have time to make your own daqoos, you can use a store-bought tomato sauce. Just be sure to choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • If you like your chicken with a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon or two of ground cumin or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken and rice with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Conclusion:

Kuwaiti chicken and rice with daqoos is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the rice is fluffy and aromatic, and the daqoos sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
