How to:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Put the oil into a large casserole dish. Heat over high heat on the stovetop. Once hot, add the chicken pieces skin side down.

Allow to colour nicely on all sides then remove from the dish.

Turn the heat down to medium then add the onions, fry for 5 minutes, then add the garlic. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes.

Add the Royco Butter Chicken, cream and water. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat. Add the chicken pieces skin side up.
