Butter chicken – just to follow some steps! One Square Pan Baked !


  • Butter chicken – just to follow some steps!

    CHICKEN AND MARINADE NOT MANDATORY

    I may name this the butter chicken marinade even if you prior for marinade for this baked version! Why? Because the chicken is baking in the sauce for 45 minutes during which time enough flavour inclusion happens. But, you can marinade overnight if you’d like, to get even more flavoring into the flesh!


    • Chicken – The prevailing chicken to use for this one-pan baked version recipe is like bone-in chicken thighs. This is because they remain juicy for the 45 minute bake time required for the sauce to thicken and develop flavour. We make skinless (it’s easy, just to peel off ) to prevent the sauce too greasy.
    • Yoghurt – This is what makes the spices stick to the surface of the chicken. Use any plain hung yogurt. Not sweet but instead bit sour is the most and certainly not flavoured! Full fat is best, though lowfat can also be used.
  • Lemon juice – It can be squeezed or juice blender can be used to make lemon juice to add in the mixture. 
  • Ginger and garlic – Fresh, finely grated so you don’t have lumps in the sauce. Using paste out of a jar is not the same – it’s sour and the flavour is nowhere near as good!
  • Chilli powder – Pure & spicy that not mixed with any preservatives. Else, use cayenne pepper or KASTURI chili powder. Butter chicken isn’t spicy, we only use 1/2 teaspoon for a fair amount of sauce. But if you’re concerned, or use as per taste. 
  • Garam masala – An Indian curry spice mix widely available at regular grocery stores these days. Doesn’t cost any more than regular spices!
  • Other spices – Turmeric and cumin powder & chicken mix masala ( spices ) 
  • Salt – My original recipe doesn’t need salt in the marinade because it’s dipped and stirred in the sauce. Because we plonk-and-bake in this recipe, salt in the marinade is needed else the surface of the chicken is a bit bland. Without salt in the marinade , it tastes and smells raw after cooking too. 




BUTTER CHICKEN CURRY SAUCE

Butter chicken curry sauce doesn’t call for many ingredients because the curry flavour comes from the chicken marinade.


  • Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is commonly used in Indian cooking, for intense buttery flavour. Kept in the pantry not fridge. Sold at regular grocery stores, or make your own, or just use butter.
  • Tomato passata – Pureed, strained pure tomatoes, sometimes labelled “tomato puree . It’s readily available in Australian supermarkets nowadays, alongside pasta sauces. Passata is excellent for making thick, smooth sauces. 
  • Cream – Thickened / heavy cream is best because it is thicker than regular cream. But regular cream will work too and if your sauce is a bit thinner than ideal at the end, just pop the pan back in the oven with just sauce in it for a few minutes (it thickens quickly).
  • Sugar – Just 1 1/2 teaspoons, to achieve the right flavour tone in the sauce.

The only difference between the baked and original butter chicken curry less salt (because I split it across the marinade and sauce) and less cream (because we get richness from the fat in the chicken plus the sauce doesn’t reduce quite as fast in the oven as it does on the stove).


How to make One-pan Baked Butter Chicken

As I said from the outset – put everything in the pan and shove it in the oven!!! OK, OK, there’s one or two minor little details to add to that.


  • Coat chicken – Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl then toss to coat the chicken.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients in a baking pan.
  • Place the chicken in. Scrape out all the residual marinade and dab onto the skin. Don’t waste any of it, that’s all butter chicken flavour!
  • Bake for 45 minutes at 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan-forced), basting at the 30 minutes and 40 minute mark. We need a slightly hot oven to get good colour on the chicken and reduce the sauce.


  • Basting – Basting just means spooning sauce over the chicken. After the 2nd baste at the 40 minute mark, I like to put the chicken back in so it browns nicely.
  • Done! When you pull it out of the oven, the surface of the chicken should be golden and the sauce will have transformed from the unremarkable looking pink watery mixture you mixed up at the beginning into your favourite butter chicken sauce!
