6. 6 Heat ghee in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
7. 7 Reduce heat to low. Add remaining 2 bay leaves and chile peppers; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully transfer 1 tablespoon ghee from the pot to a small bowl; set aside.
8. 8 Remove chicken from marinade, wiping excess marinade off; add chicken to the pot. Discard remaining marinade. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side; spread rice on top, then sprinkle on onions. Drizzle reserved ghee and saffron milk over rice and onions.
9. 9 Cover the pot; cook over high heat, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until rice is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes more.
