Marinate the chicken with clarified butter, cinnamon, paprika or kashmiri red chili powder, salt, mace and nutmeg and keep it for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 180 degree C and place the chicken on a rack and put a bowl(roast mode proof) beneath the chicken on the lower rack so that it collects the juices and roast for 15 minutes and then turn the chicken and roast for another 15 minutes. 

Now place the rice in the bowl which has collected the juices and mix well and place the chicken on top and bake for another 5 minutes.
