Butter hen – in just some steps!
Butter Rooster has been one among my hottest recipes from the second I revealed it. Readers inform me they like it as a result of it tastes “completely legit” but you may get every part from common grocery shops and it’s very straight ahead.
Nicely, your Butter Rooster loving life is about to get even higher as a result of right here’s a one-pan baked model that’s even simpler! It’s a type of “dump and bake” recipes.

Substances in butter hen
The substances on this one-pan baked model of Butter Rooster are the identical as the unique Butter Rooster, although portions are completely different for a few gadgets which is defined beneath.
CHICKEN AND MARINADE (BUT NO MARINATING REQUIRED!)
I’ll proceed to name this the butter hen marinade though you don’t must marinade for this baked model! Why? As a result of the hen is baking within the sauce for 45 minutes throughout which period sufficient flavour infusion occurs. However, you may marinade in a single day for those who’d like, to get much more flavour into the flesh!
Rooster – The perfect hen to make use of for this one-pan baked model is bone-in hen thighs. It is because they continue to be juicy for the 45 minute bake time required for the sauce to thicken and develop flavour. We take away the pores and skin (it’s simple, simply peel it off) to forestall the sauce from getting too greasy.Different hen choices – Drumsticks (wonderful), boneless thighs (not nearly as good however will work), breast (chunk measurement chunks, my least most well-liked). I’ve included instructions for every of those within the recipe notes.
Yoghurt – That is what makes the spices follow the floor of the hen. Use any plain yogurt. Not sweetened and definitely not flavoured! Full fats is greatest, although low fats will work too.
Lemon juice – For a contact of tang. Apple cider vinegar can even work (or different gentle clear vinegar – white wine vinegar and so forth).
Ginger and garlic – Recent, finely grated so that you don’t have lumps within the sauce. Utilizing paste out of a jar will not be the identical – it’s bitter and the flavour is nowhere close to nearly as good!
Chilli powder – Pure & spicy, not the US tex-mex chili mix. Else, use cayenne pepper. Butter hen isn’t spicy, we solely use 1/2 teaspoon for a good quantity of sauce. However for those who’re involved, go away it out.
Garam masala – An Indian curry spice combine extensively out there at common grocery shops as of late. Doesn’t price any greater than common spices!
Different spices – Turmeric and cumin powder.
Salt – My authentic Butter Rooster recipe doesn’t want salt within the marinade as a result of it’s seared then simmered within the sauce. As a result of we plonk-and-bake on this recipe, salt within the marinade is required else the floor of the hen is a bit bland.
Butter hen CURRY sauce
Butter hen curry sauce doesn’t name for a lot of substances as a result of the curry flavour comes from the hen marinade.
Ghee is a sort of clarified butter that’s generally utilized in Indian cooking, for intense buttery flavour. Stored within the pantry not fridge. Offered at common grocery shops, or make your individual, or simply use butter.
Tomato passata – Pureed, strained pure tomatoes, generally labelled “tomato puree” within the US (right here’s a photograph of Mutti model bought at Walmart). It’s available in Australian supermarkets these days, alongside pasta sauces. Passata is great for making thick, easy sauces. Extra on tomato passata right here.
Cream – Thickened / heavy cream is greatest as a result of it’s thicker than common cream. However common cream will work too and in case your sauce is a bit thinner than ideally suited on the finish, simply pop the pan again within the oven with simply sauce in it for a couple of minutes (it thickens shortly).
Sugar – Simply 1 1/2 teaspoons, to attain the fitting flavour tone within the sauce.
make One-pan Baked Butter Rooster
As I stated from the outset – put every part within the pan and shove it within the oven!!! OK, OK, there’s one or two minor little particulars so as to add to that. 🙂
Coat hen – Combine the marinade substances in a bowl then toss to coat the hen.
Combine the sauce substances in a baking pan.
Place the hen in. Scrape out all of the residual marinade and dab onto the pores and skin. Don’t waste any of it, that’s all butter hen flavour!
Bake for 45 minutes at 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan-forced), basting on the half-hour and 40 minute mark. We want a barely scorching oven to get good color on the hen and scale back the sauce.
Basting – Basting simply means spooning sauce over the hen. After the 2nd baste on the 40 minute mark, I prefer to put the hen again in so it browns properly.
Performed! If you pull it out of the oven, the floor of the hen needs to be golden and the sauce may have reworked from the unremarkable wanting pink watery combination you blended up initially into your favorite butter hen sauce!
SAUCE THICKNESS TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The speed at which the sauce will thicken and darken in color will differ relying on variables together with the accuracy and warmth distribution of your oven, the pan you employ (and the way it conducts/retains warmth) and the juiciness of your hen (frozen-thawed hen will be extra watery inside, and a few economical hen will be pumped up with brine which additionally means extra water comes out when it cooks).
However tweaking on the finish is really easy. Simply take the hen out – it must relaxation for five to 10 minutes earlier than serving anyway – then pop the pan with the sauce again into the oven. It’s going to thicken shortly, so control it.
Serving baked butter hen
Whereas the hen is within the oven, steam some basmati rice to serve it with. Place a juicy piece of hen on high then smother with a beneficiant quantity of sauce (I by no means skimp on sauce, so there may be a lot!).
For a splash of contemporary inexperienced color, add some coriander/cilantro leaves (entire or chopped). Then dive in. To make everybody even happier, add naan for mopping the bowl clear. If you happen to’re but to attempt selfmade naan, it must be pushed to the highest of your listing!! The dough doesn’t requiring kneading. It’s extraordinarily simple.
