- Let the chicken come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and avoid burning it by adding it later in the cooking process if needed.
- Baste the chicken with the garlic butter a few times during roasting to keep it moist and flavorful.

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 and fry the chicken pieces until they turn golden brown. Set them aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt. Then, toss in the chopped garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle in some cornflour and stir it well to combine with the butter and garlic.
Step 5
Slowly add water while stirring, and let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens a bit.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and oregano, then squeeze in the lemon juice and mix everything together.
Step 7
Stir in some chopped coriander leaves, pour the garlic butter sauce over the chicken, and serve it hot.
Serving Variations
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or rice also pair well, soaking up the garlic butter sauce beautifully. A crisp white wine complements the flavors perfectly.
Storage Tips
Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain moisture and avoid drying out the chicken.
