I was listening to a couple of well known southern BBQ personalities discussing what they cook for their families.  They raved about Butter Chicken.  A moment later they called it Butter Bath Chicken.  I gathered that it was either grilled or smoked, but I'm not certain.

I can't locate a recipe that fits.  Do you know of it?

If you do, reply here but please post it in <Recipe Section> <Fowl>.

my wife makes something she calls butter herbed chicken or something like that.  She basically throws chicken in a deep pan with butter and some spices and puts a lid on it.  Every now and again she takes the melted butter and pours it over the chicken.  I can't imagine it is what you are looking for but she is from Mississippi.

Never heard of it.  For me, the ultimate butter chicken is Kiev...

Hmmm, I just made this butter chicken recipe a few days ago, but probably not what you're talking about

But it was very tasty.

I forgot about this.  We order Butter Chicken from a local Indian cuisine restaurant a few times a year.  You're probably right.  This probably isn't the recipe.

One of the laughing comments was something like, "Boiled in butter."  So I'm thinking that it's fried in butter, maybe deep fried.  It's a podcast, so I've listened to that part over and over and can't glean any more information.

The more I listen to the podcast and think about it, the more I think this may be the recipe.  They're BBQ guys but they may not necessarily be talking about BBQ or grilling.  They may be talking about a fried chicken recipe.  In that case I'm asking on the wrong forum.

This isn't fried.  I would say it is slow roasted.  It takes at least 60-90 minutes for whatever she does in the pan.  She always adds mushrooms to it too and browns them up a bit.  I usually eat with Stove Top.  She usually plates over rice and pours the butter over the top.

Made this a while back for a pot luck.  Everybody loved it.  Although a few people winced when I told them about the butter.

The recipe did not mention it, but if I made this dish, I would use boneless/skinless thighs. Cooked this way, I don't think that the skin/bones would add much.

"Butter Chicken" I'm familiar with is a mild curry

my family loves it (even my picky 8 year old and his 4 year old little sister)


we use this paste https://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India-Butter-Chicken-3-5-Ounces/dp/B000V17MLS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2BFKMJRL364AG&keywords=taste+of+india+butter+chicken&qid=1553271800&s=gateway&sprefix=taste+of+indi%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-3
and add a can of coconut milk instead of the water

Oh man! I love me some butter chicken.

Curry butter chicken is one of my favorite curry dishes.

we make ours in the Instant-Pot
I'd be curious if smoke would be good on it

Years ago a guy at work told me to throw a couple sticks of butter in a chicken then lay bacon strips over it and cook it in the oven. It was alright. Only made it once.
