Butter Chicken Thighs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

  3. 3

    Make the Butter Curry Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the tomato puree, heavy cream, garam masala, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done, pour the butter curry sauce over the roasted chicken thighs. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with basmati rice and grilled ginger broccolini.
