The Ultimate Butter Chicken

We brought in chef Chet Sharma from BiBi — one of London’s standout Indian-inspired restaurants — to show us how Butter Chicken should really be done

Butter chicken is the most popular curry on the planet — but most versions are a little flat. In this video, we make the ultimate butter chicken the way it’s meant to be done: bone-in chicken, a proper yogurt marinade, freshly made garam masala, and a silky makhani sauce built on ghee, tomatoes, cashews, ginger, and garlic.
