ButterChicken is one of the few exceptions. I was elated when I discovered a Chef recipe for Butter Chicken and realised how easy it is. But more importantly, you can get all the ingredients from any supermarket. Yes!
The secret to the tender, flavour infused chicken is a spice infused yogurt marinade made with fresh ginger, garlic, lemon juice and spices. The spices in Butter Chicken are turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder and cumin.
Wow, great flavor and spice, although a bit too strong spice for my family, maybe my chicken masala I get from an indian spice shop locally is very potent, next time only 1tsp, also I used buttermilk marinated for 1hr instead of yoghurt as that is what I had. Did ad a handful of peas the last few minutes and served on basmati with roti, will be making this again for sure.
First time I made this I felt it lacked a bit of depth and a tomatoey flavour and orange colour that I was really looking for Second time around I made it slightly differently and am so so happy with the result! In the marinade I added about 1 1/2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves, you can get them from any Indian grocer.
In the sauce I did add some extra things. I added 1/2 a red onion, some extra garlic and a fresh chilli. I also put some tomato paste in once the chicken was in and also extra passata. If anyone felt the same way I did I certainly recommend adding the extra stuff! I loved it!
I love this recipe and have made a couple times. I double it to have left overs! I saw a comment about it being runny, just continue to simmer longer than 20 min to get the consistency you want.
IMy family and I absolutely love this butter chicken it tastes like the one you can get in an Indian restaurant.
I make it milder by adjusting the quantity of Garam masala and cayenne pepper.
This recipe was a little lacklustre for me. It was missing some depth. It was also quite runny. I followed the recipe to the letter & was hopeful due to all the positive reviews. None of my family were particularly enthused by it either. I suspect this might be due to our preference for a good hit of spice rather than a failing of the recipe given so many others seem to love it. I will attempt it again & probably tweak the spice + maybe sub the thickened cream for coconut cream and simmer it longer to thicken.
Once hot, add the potatoes and sprinkle all over with sea salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, stir, then cook another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly brown, until golden brown and tender.

More than a little into running and paleo recipes (yoga now too!) but I'm not here to rain on your grains (or anything else) so come along for the ride! I do a little too much of everything (except cleaning), and I enjoy laughing at myself. As long as I'm the one making the jokes, that is. Just kidding. So bring me your angst, your appetite and your frying pan and climb aboard!
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the ghee. Once hot, add the potatoes and sprinkle all over with sea salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, stir, then cook another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly brown, until golden brown and tender.
During the last minute of cooking the potatoes, push them to the size and add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and parsley. Stir in with the potatoes and cook until potatoes are done. Once done, remove the potatoes, garlic and herbs to a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika, then add to the skillet/ Cook over med-high to high heat undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until crisp and brown on one side, then stir and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown all over, about 4-5 minutes.
Toss the chicken with the potatoes and top with additional fresh herbs. Serve right away and enjoy!

I had some leftover dressing and goat cheese from the crispy chicken cobb salad (which is also delicious!) put them on top of my potato and chicken leftovers and OH MY GOODNESS! It was even better! Highly recommend. Thank you for the recipe!
Absolutely delicious! And so simple! The potatoes turned out incredibly crispy, and the chicken was wonderfully flavorful. I served it alongside sauted spinach and roasted delicata squash. This meal will definitely be a regular run 4 in our house!
When I got back home to New York, I thought I could make something crunchy and sweet with a honey butter flavor, and I started experimenting with fried chicken. It took a lot of experiments until I was satisfied with the result.
My monthly letter to my readers includes my recipe roundup, funny and touching stories, upcoming events, reader comments and photos of what you guys are cooking! It's delivered the first day of every month.
Hi!
I love watching your videos and tried your fried chicken recipes. Today I had made the honey butter chicken and my family loved it (Sorry no time to take pictures, it was gone right after I took it out of the pan ) . I will be trying your other recipes soon.
just a question regarding the honey butter sauce, the sugar should be melted? (Am I right? ) comparing to your video it was different, the sugar did not melt, its like Im cooking an island I dont know what happened, I had followed the instruction but its not the same on the video and no bubbles after I added the honey hahaha, though the outcome is good.
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
Is it just us, or does saying "garlic butter chicken thighs" immediately incite visions of a rich, moist, and flavorful meal? This recipe, courtesy of recipe developer Kit Hondrum, really is as delicious as it sounds, combining tender chicken thighs with an incredibly flavorful garlic butter sauce that keeps the meat moist succulent.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the skillet is hot enough and the butter begins to brown, add the thighs to the pan. Be sure to place the chicken thighs skin-side down to start. Allow the butter and chicken thighs to cook for five minutes without touching them. Then, flip the thighs and cook them for another five minutes.
Turn off heat, and add the garlic and the rest of the butter to the skillet for even more flavor. Double-check that your oven has finished preheating and pop in the skillet. Be sure to place it on the middle rack and let the chicken roast for 25 to 30 minutes.
"For chicken thighs, I like to cook to 200 F so that the connective tissue, fats, and cartilage begin to break down some more," Hondrum shares. "Bone-in chicken thighs, especially with the skin on and cooked in butter, are hard to overcook, so if you don't have a meat thermometer, 30 minutes should be perfect!"
Once you take the chicken out of the oven, add the chopped parsley and serve with plenty of butter. You can also spoon the crunchy garlic on top. These chicken thighs are great on their own, but there are many sides to add. "I love to serve these chicken thighs with green beans and a crusty french bread to soak up all the delicious butter," Hondrum notes. "Pair with a buttery Chardonnay for the perfect easy, yet impressive dinner!"
From there I always serve up with a wedge of lemon. The sauce is quite rich, so a squeeze of lemon juice at the very end will cut through that richness. Optional, but recommended ?
I made this for the first time tonight and it was easy to make. The chicken came out moist and super tender. The sauce was delicious. The only thing I will do is make a touch more sauce. My picky husband liked it as well, which is a huge win.
My entire family loves this recipe, including my 6-year-old picky eater. The lemon at the end sends it over the top. This recipe, along with your Honey Butter Chicken, are in our regular dinner rotation. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!
Cooked this for the first time tonight, we both thought it was delicious, not too garlicky, just right. Served with roast baby potatoes and veg. Loved the gravy.
We did eat the full recipe between the two of us as I thought I it was for two people.
