DELICIOUS & ADDICTIVE INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Simmer

Yield 6-8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

• 4 large tomatoes chopped
• 1 large onion chopped
• 2 cloves chopped garlic
• 1 lbs boneless/skinless chicken meat (I like chicken thigh)
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tbsp coriander
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup water
• salt
• crushed black pepper
• handful cashews
• 2 hefty dollops of garlic/ginger paste (this is important and hard to come by - try Whole Foods)
• 2 green chili peppers
• 1 tbsp fenugreek
• 1 tbsp cumin seed
• few squirts ketchup (at end)
• 1/3 cup tomato puree
• few pinches garam masala (powder)
• ½ - ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Chicken: Chop chicken into chunks. In a bowl, mix together chicken, healthy dollop of ginger/garlic paste, coriander powder, salt and chili powder. Coat bottom of deep pan with vegetable oil and heat medium until nice and hot. Add chicken and fry until browned. Do not overcook your chicken!! It will have time to keep cooking later on in this recipe. Remove chicken - set aside and cover. Leave the juices in the pan! Sauce (part one): Adjust flame to medium-low setting. Add your onion, chopped garlic and green chili peppers to the remaining chicken juice and sizzle for about a minute. Add 1 ½ cups water and stir - making sure everything that is stuck to bottom of pan is mixed in nicely. Add tomatoes, tomato puree, dash of salt, pinch of black pepper, dollop ginger/garlic paste, fenugreek, cashews, chili powder, cumin seed and coriander. Simmer and cover. Cook stirring sporadically until tomatoes are well done and super mushy. Remove pan from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Rinse your pan and return to stovetop. Sauce (part two) There will inevitably be a bit more chicken juice on the plate the chicken is now resting on. Using your hands as a strainer and without letting the chicken fall in the pan, get those remaining juices in there and add your stick of butter. Yes, a whole stick! Turn the heat to medium low and get that butter/juice mixture melted down. Add back your now-blended sauce and taste it. Add salt and a bit of water as needed. This is a sauce that is meant to be served over rice so it shouldn't be too thick Add your sugar and a couple squirts of good ol' ketchup . Stir in cream and add back chicken. Bring to a simmer and let cook for another few minutes. Remove from heat and add a few pinches of garam masala to taste. Serve over bed of basmati rice and enjoy!

Who doesn't love chicken? From crispy wings to succulent thighs, chicken is one of the most versatile and beloved meats. When it comes to cooking chicken, there are endless possibilities for flavor and texture. However, if you want to create an addictive chicken dish, you need to follow some tricks that make it stand out. In this article, we’re going to share valuable tips to make your chicken recipes truly addictive.

Tip 1: Marinate and Brine Chicken Before Cooking

One of the secrets to making addictive chicken recipes is to enhance the flavor and moisture of the meat. Marinating and brining are two techniques that can help achieve this. Marinating involves soaking chicken in a flavorful liquid for a period of time, while brining involves soaking chicken in a saltwater solution. Both techniques tenderize the meat and add flavor. To marinate chicken, combine an acidic ingredient, such as citrus juice, vinegar, or yogurt, with oil, herbs, spices, and salt. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge, depending on the recipe. To brine chicken, prepare a solution of water, salt, and other seasonings, such as sugar, garlic, or herbs. Brine the chicken for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Tip 2: Choose the Right Cut of Chicken

The cut of chicken you use can make a huge difference in the texture and flavor of your dish. Some cuts, such as chicken breasts or thighs, are leaner and cook faster, while others, like chicken wings or legs, have more fat and take longer to cook. Bone-in chicken has more flavor and retains moisture better than boneless chicken. Different cuts of chicken are also suited to different cooking methods. For example, wings are perfect for frying or grilling, while chicken thighs are great for baking, braising, or roasting. When selecting chicken, consider the texture, flavor, and cooking time needed for your recipe.

Tip 3: Use Bold Spices and Herbs

The spices and herbs you use in your chicken recipes can make or break your dish. Bold, flavorful spices and herbs can elevate the taste of your chicken and make it truly addictive. Some of the most popular spices and herbs for chicken include garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, rosemary, thyme, and basil. When using spices and herbs, be careful not to overdo it. Adding too much can overpower the natural flavor of the chicken. Use a light hand when seasoning the meat, and taste as you go. Allow the spices and herbs to meld with the chicken by letting it sit for a few minutes before cooking.

Tip 4: Experiment with Different Cooking Methods

There are many ways to cook chicken, including grilling, baking, frying, roasting, braising, and stewing. Each cooking method has its own advantages, and experimenting with different techniques can help you discover new flavors and textures. For example, grilling chicken over an open flame can impart a smoky flavor, while baking chicken in the oven can create a crispy skin. Frying chicken can give it a crunchy texture, while braising or stewing chicken can create a tender and juicy dish. Try different cooking methods to find the one that works best for your recipe.

Tip 5: Add Texture and Crunch

Adding texture and crunch to your chicken can make it stand out from the rest. Some ways to do this include breading, coating, or topping the chicken with crunchy ingredients like breadcrumbs, panko, nuts, or seeds. For example, you could coat chicken breasts in a crispy breadcrumb mixture before baking or frying them. Or you could top grilled chicken with chopped nuts for a crunchy finish. Adding texture and crunch can also provide a contrast to the tender and juicy meat, making the dish more interesting to eat.

Tip 6: Pair Chicken with Savory Sauces

Sauces can take your chicken recipe to the next level by providing a burst of flavor and moisture. Savory sauces, such as barbecue, teriyaki, or honey mustard, can complement the natural taste of the chicken and make it more addictive. When making sauces, aim for a balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. Use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh herbs, ginger, or garlic, to enhance the taste. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken just before serving, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Tip 7: Don't Overcook the Chicken

Perhaps the biggest mistake you can make when cooking chicken is overcooking it. Chicken that is dry and tough is not addictive at all. To prevent this, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. Different cuts of chicken have different cooking times and temperatures. For example, chicken breasts should be cooked to 165°F (74°C), while chicken thighs should be cooked to 175°F (79°C). Keep in mind that the temperature of the chicken will continue to rise after it’s removed from the heat source. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.

Conclusion:

These seven tips can help you create addictive chicken recipes that will have your family and friends begging for more. By marinating and brining the chicken, choosing the right cut, using bold spices and herbs, experimenting with different cooking methods, adding texture and crunch, pairing it with savory sauces, and not overcooking it, you can create chicken dishes that are flavorful, moist, and irresistible. So, get ready to wow your guests with your newfound chicken skills!
