Recipe video above. The miraculous, easy way to make butter chicken in the oven! Just put everything in a pan and pop it in the oven. That sauce is to-die for! Just like the real-thing, with a fraction of the effort.This doesn't even need to be marinated because the flesh gets infused with flavour as it bakes. Not spicy at all, so this one for everyone!
