Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite

This dish combines juicy chicken with rich, flavorful garlic butter that melts into every bite. It’s easy to prepare but feels special enough for a family dinner or guests. The garlic adds a lovely aroma that makes the whole kitchen smell amazing.

Practical Cooking Tips

- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and avoid garlic powder substitutes.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after roasting to keep it juicy.
- Baste the chicken with the butter mixture halfway through cooking to enhance flavor and moisture.

Step 1

In a bowl, toss the chicken with salt, pepper, ginger garlic paste, and cornflour until everything is well coated.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan over medium-low heat, then fry the chicken pieces until they turn golden brown and cooked through. Set them aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the cornflour and stir well to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the water, stirring constantly, and let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and oregano, then stir in the lemon juice.

Step 7

Add the chopped coriander leaves, give everything a good mix, and pour the sauce over the chicken.

Step 8

Serve everything hot and enjoy!

Best Ways To Serve

Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or crusty bread also make great sides to soak up the garlic butter sauce.

Food Storage Guide

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken, and add a little extra butter or olive oil if needed.
