Broiler chicken takes more time to cook properly so adjust as necessary.
Adding the rice to the jollof gravy is crucial. Adjustments should be made to add a little less rice or little more water (mixed with spices and perhaps a little salted) if the rice is too much.
The chicken pieces can be had separately without adding them to the jollof gravy as is usually the practice at parties
