== Procedure ==<br />
Pitang oying is prepared in two ways. The first method involves frying the meat first using oil. The second method involves cooking the dish only by boiling it in water without the use of oil.<br />
<br />
To make Pitang oying, the chicken is first cleaned and cut into small pieces. The rice is washed thoroughly after soaking it in water for some time. The rice is then ground into a cheap form. The meat is fried for some time by heating oil in a pan and adding onion, garlic and other ingredients. After this, the rice flour is slowly added to the boil and the meat is stirred. After adding salt, chillies, etc., to the measure, the pitang is cooked till it is cooked and finally chopped into raw coriander leaves and put down from the fireāĨ¤<ref name="TOI">{{Cite web |date=Sep 12, 2017 |title=Chicken with Rice Flour Recipe |url=https://recipes.timesofindia.com/recipes/chicken-with-rice-flour/rs60465323.cms |access-date=17 February 2023 |publisher=recipes.timesofindia.com}}</ref><ref name="scroll"/> It is usually served with [[Purang apin]].<br />
