Hope your good man!! You mentioned a while back about mental struggles so thought I would just check in as a random stranger that cares and ser your doing ok. Love the channel, keep up the good work and take care of/love yourself yourself mate!!

@buttersd70 Год назад

tip for spices in the rice....smaller spices that are hard to find and fish out, like cardamon, cloves, fenugreek etc.... those small stainless mesh balls that you can pick up in any supermarket for infusing tea are awesome. put the smaller spices in that, and pop that in your rice. Then you can get them all out easily once cooked. nothing worse that eating nicely infuse rice and then accidently biting down on a clove lol.😝

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

These types of spices are fine, they’ll rise to the top during the cooking process. If you’re concerned about this though, what you suggested is great

@NinjaSpyMaGaming Год назад

I've just got to say, your recipes and thoughoutly explained instructions have seriously helped me with my meal prepping, I'm able to easily follow these instructions and often deviate and add my own little twists, spins or add a few extra different ingredients. These have seriously helped me with my bulking and daily food intake needs! Thank you so much Mr Chef Jack Ovens!

Great looking recipe! Without sounding too presumptuous, I'd cook the chicken in batches to get a nice sear or lay them flat on a sheet tray and broil. They'll finish cooking in the sauce.

@geminireviews Год назад

Thighs are 100x better, but I can't get them skin & boneless at my stores or butcher shops for some reason. And butchering 12-14 thighs for one meal prep round takes so much time

@whoru2376 Год назад

@@geminireviews 100x better but are a lot more calorie dense so if looking to lose weight perhaps stick to breast

@joconnell Год назад

@@whoru2376 if you throw away the skin from the thighs it'll nearly half the calories! Boneless skinless thighs are neeeeeeeearly the same calories as chicken breast and they're way harder to overcook and dry out. Definitely taste better when reheated too!

@whoru2376 Год назад

@@joconnell Thanks, I didn't realise it was the skin that added all that extra!

@Stuugie. 9 месяцев назад

One thing I did which upped the protein content was adding split red lentils. I eyeballed it to where it looked like the sauce was full of red lentils, and when blended it's virtually identical. I think more liquid is needed but the flavor is unchanged It really helps if you're like me and can eat a surprising volume of butter chicken, it becomes significantly more filling Though I don't exactly know if it can be called authentic like that

@ChefJackOvens 9 месяцев назад

Very nice. Glad you made it your own. It’s good to hear

@JarrodBrowne100 Год назад

Thanks for another great recipe! With your meal prep recipes is it possible to use chicken breast instead of thigh? Would that change the steps much? Thank you!

@wwoods66 Год назад

Add the chicken-breast pieces to the sauce later, so they don't overcook. Ten minutes of simmering before serving, instead of 35-40? Also, I think then you call it 'chicken tikka masala'.

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

As bill suggested, don’t sear the chicken at all. Add it into the sauce for the final 12 minutes of cooking.

@vipulkamble Год назад

which basmati do you use ?

@trentyz Год назад

Hi Jack, love your videos. How is your chicken always so nice and dry when cooking? Mine is basically boiling in juices! Any tips or tricks? I’m using an induction stove top…

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

You need a hot pan to sear the chicken rather than boiling it. When the pan isn’t hot enough and the chicken is added it will cool the pan too much to the point it won’t heat back up properly depending on the power of your burner

@trentyz Год назад

@@ChefJackOvens great, thanks Jack! I’ll turn the heat up next time :) Also, any chance you can do a peanut satay on rice? My local Thai restaurant does the most amazing peanut satay and I’d love to know how to make it at home! Your recipes always come out so well

@Ramhams1337 Год назад

i made this today. and it was delicious. however im gonna say the amount of sauce i got with this recipe was a lot. compared to the amount of rice and chicken atleast. i'd say you could easily double the amount of rice in this recipe

@MustiiDrums Год назад

Chef, question.. everytime i cook chicken in the pan, it always releases alot of moisture and doesn’t cook the way I want it to, any tips??

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

Pat fry the chicken before cooking and make sure you’re not washing it before hand. Also make sure the pan is really hot to allow it to sear instead of boil 🙏 hope that helps

@madrasb0y Год назад

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

@kylefernandes5003 Год назад

Hey Jack what's the benefit of those containers over normal ones?

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

No plastic so better for the environment and they’re able to be vacuum sealed which increases food quality when storing and the food lasting a day or two more

@Chachibenji 11 месяцев назад

Was able to make this as a fully dairy free version using plant based heavy cream, adding some ACV to the marinade portion to make it more of a tangy yogurt, and using nutiva butter oil in place of the ghee. It tastes fantastic and is now one of my favorite dishes to make every couple weeks.

Hi Chef, is there a reason you bring the rice to a boil without the lid on, and only place the lid on once you reduce the heat?

@wwoods66 Год назад

You've got gram measurements for everything ... _except_ 0:30 "six cloves of freshly-peeled garlic". About the same as the 30 grams of ginger? If I don't have clarified butter, what happens if I use regular butter? Cook it longer to evaporate the water? Or use oil, coconut fat, or chicken fat?

@ChefJackOvens Год назад

Cloves of garlic don’t need weighing. You’ll need to cook the butter separately then remove the solids from the butter to create clarified butter

@mrchin7562 10 месяцев назад

? This is a thing? I'm not familiar with this one. I'm over 50 but I only found out because my son suddenly announced he was making it, and I had some. I thought it was just chicken fried/grilled in butter and was greeted with this. Basically, I'm here for research. Possibly go out and try to find some in one of the Indian shops nearby. Maybe I'll try making some after. Thanks for the reduced fat recipe, Chef.

@kammahey5496 11 месяцев назад

Always crush dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) before adding to a dish.

@micah1754 Год назад

I'd personally rather have a little extra fat to keep the authentic flavour of butter chicken. This looks like a yummy curry with the yogurt, but to me not really butter chicken. Between 5 servings, a cup of cream really isn't all that much. Love yourselves guys haha
