Wendy’s Indian Butter Chicken Recipe
Butter chicken recipe recreates restaurant-quality Indian cuisine with this creamy, tomato-based curry that's beloved worldwide. This rich and indulgent dish features tender chicken pieces simmered in a velvety sauce made with butter, cream, and aromatic spices. The mild yet flavorful curry appeals to those who prefer less heat while still enjoying authentic Indian tastes. The smooth, orange-colored sauce gets its distinctive flavor from a perfect balance of tomatoes, cream, and traditional spices. This comforting curry pairs beautifully with basmati rice or warm naan bread for a satisfying meal.

This recipe resembles a dish from an Indian restaurant in my town. I love it. It’s got a great unique flavor to it; garam masala is the spice used. Creamy – a favorite! Serve over rice.
