Butter Chicken

Suggested Piece: 12" Electric Skillet (EOC)

Ingredients
2 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Salt
1 tsp. garlic (#1 cone)
1 tbsp. ginger (#1 cone)
2 tsp. garam masala

Sauce
1 medium yellow onion (#2 cone)
1 serrano chile, chopped
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 c. tomato paste
1 1/4 c. coconut milk
1 tsp. garam masala
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Salt
Cilantro for garnishing

Directions
Preheat 12" Electric Skillet to 400F. Add chicken thighs, lemon juice, salt, garlic, ginger, and garam masala to a gallon ziploc bag; shake to coat. Marinate for a few hours or overnight. If you don't have time for that, then get cooking! Shake drops of cold water onto skillet. They should bead and dance if skillet is properly preheated.  Place chicken in hot skillet and press down to sear. Remember, it is not necessary to use any oil or grease. Chicken will stick at first, but will release when properly browned. Flip to sear opposite side. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.

Sauce: Add yellow onion and serrano chili to bottom of EOC and deglaze until onion is translucent. Add lemon juice, tomato paste, coconut milk, garam masala, cumin, and salt to skillet; wisk until combined. Add chicken to skillet and cover in sauce.

Place cover on top skillet and continue to cook over low heat until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve over jasmine/basmati rice, or alongside Naan bread. Thank you Martha Stewart for bringing your power to each one of our cooking schools!
