One-pan Baked Butter Chicken

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan-forced).

Step 2

Coat chicken - Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat.

Step 3

Optional marinade - overnight. (Note 5)

Step 4

Assemble - Mix Sauce ingredients in a 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13" baking dish. Place chicken in, smooth side up. Scrape residual marinade out of bowl and dab onto chicken surface.

Step 5

Bake 45 minutes, basting with sauce at the 30 minute and 40 minute mark. The sauce will change from pink to orangey-red (Note 6 for sauce thickening).

Step 6

Serve - Rest for 5 minutes. Then serve over basmati rice, garnished with coriander if desired! Naan for mopping would make everyone extra happy. :)
