Butter chicken, one of the most popular Indian dishes, is known for its creamy texture and smoky flavour. Made with marinated, char-grilled chicken simmered in a rich, velvety, and mildly spiced tomato-cream sauce, and aromatic spices, the dish is typically savoured with naan, roti, or steamed rice. A recipe for a different type of 'butter chicken' is, however, going viral on social media, showing a completely unusual way of preparing the item. Alongside the video, she says, "I was 8 years old when I learned how to make butter chicken. I didn't realise it's literally just butter and chicken, so I covered the chicken in 10 sticks of butter and cooked it for an hour."
In the video, a vlogger is seen unwrapping a generous amount of butter sticks and skillfully applying a layer of butter to a whole chicken. Afterwards, she roasts the chicken in the microwave, and voila, the golden-brown roast chicken is ready to indulge in. The vlogger was seen cutting a piece of the freshly cooked, crispy, golden chicken from the pool of molten butter and then relishing it. "Since I'm going to culinary school in a couple of months, I'm really trying to be prepared. The chicken cooked perfectly, and I love learning how to make new dishes," she reveals her genuine review of the dish.
