Tandoor Style Curried Chicken

The smoky flavour of the sauce is amazing. Smooth and buttery.

You Will Need:

Chicken
To Finish
Marinade

Ina’s Tip

Instead of oven baking, simmer on top of the stove, but increase the hot water to 1 cup (250 ml) and cover dish with a ‘false lid’ of baking paper under the regular lid to prevent moisture loss.

Method:

Slash chicken portions twice through the skin right to the bone and season on all sides with Garlic & Herb Seasoning.

Place in a biggish non-metal ovenproof dish. Mix together yoghurt, ¼ cup (60 ml) of Butter Chicken Curry Sauce and ginger.

Spread this paste all over the chicken thighs. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight.

Adjust the oven rack to one slot below the middle position and preheat the oven to 180 °C. * See Ina’s Tip

Mix the Liquid Stock with hot water and add to chicken.

Bake chicken, uncovered in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven. Spread remaining Butter Chicken Sauce over chicken and bake open for a final 20 - 25 minutes until chicken is done.

Serve with rice and sambals eg. Sweet Rice with Raisins, Carrot and Beetroot Raita, Coriander and Coconut Sambal or Lemon Pickle.
