    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle a teaspoon of oil to the pan.

    Working in batches, remove chicken from the marinade and grill them on the pan for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through (clear juice runs out of it when you cut into it). Do not crowd the pan.

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken into a separate dish. Cover and set aside for later.

    Cook the chicken:
  4. Start making the sauce:

    Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium sized Dutch oven or a skillet on medium low heat. As soon as the butter melts, add the ginger garlic paste followed by sugar. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.

    Stir in the tomato and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium high heat, until all the extra liquid is cooked off. The sauce should be a loose, paste-like consistency.

    Start making the sauce:
  5. Purée the sauce with the nuts:

    Transfer the paste to a blender or the bowl of a food processor. Add the soaked, drained cashews and almonds. Blend into a smooth paste.

I Make This Garlic Butter Chicken at Least Once a Week - butter chicken recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the garlic butter:

    While the oven preheats, in a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the potatoes:

    Add the potatoes to an 8x8 or 9x9-inch square baking dish and toss with the oil. Season with the salt and pepper.

  3. Coat the chicken:

    Using a knife, pierce the chicken thighs a couple of times through the skin. (This is to help the garlic butter melt into the chicken as it cooks.) Rub each chicken thigh thoroughly with the prepared garlic butter, making sure to get under the skin as well.

    Place the chicken on top of the potatoes in the baking dish. If there is any leftover garlic butter, add it on top of the chicken.

  4. Roast:

    Roast until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 170°F) and its skin is golden and crisp, about 45 minutes, using a spoon to baste the chicken with the juices from the bottom of the dish approximately halfway through cooking.

  5. Serve:

    Serve the chicken thighs with the potatoes and remaining juices spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using.

    Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or until warm.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and butter to a saucepan. Place over medium heat until butter is halfway melted; turn off heat, and whisk until butter disappears. Let marinade cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

  2. Cut chicken into halves or quarters and place in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk cooled marinade thoroughly and pour into the bag. Squeeze out air and seal tightly.

  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. (At this point, chicken is ready to be roasted or grilled. What follows are instructions for partially baking chicken, then finishing on the grill.)

  4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place chicken pieces, skin side up, in a baking dish; pour in all of the marinade.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. (At this point, the partially baked chicken can be transferred to a plate and refrigerated until ready to finish cooking on a grill, or you can proceed immediately with grilling.)

  6. Prepare an outdoor grill with charcoal. Coals should be hot and white, without active flame. Alternately, preheat a gas grill for medium heat.

  7. Pour marinade into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Set aside to use as a basting sauce and finishing sauce.

  8. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down. Cook over hot coals with the cover on, adjusting the vents to keep the heat down, until skin has a little color, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook, turning occasionally, basting with sauce each time, 10 to 20 minutes more. The majority of the cooking takes place with the chicken skin side up.

  9. For perfectly cooked breasts, pull breasts off the grill when the internal temperature, measured with an instant-read thermometer, reaches at least 150 degrees F (66 degrees C). For perfectly cooked leg sections, pull off the grill at 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Tent chicken with foil; rest for 5 to 10 minutes. The internal temperature will continue to rise.
