ABOUT Clarified Butter Chicken Roast/Chicken Ghee Roast RECIPE

I wanted to come up with a dish for BetterButter, which not only is infused with a distinct melted butter flavor, but also is an iconic Indian dish (it's our Independence month as well). This Ghee Roast Chicken or Clarified Butter Chicken Roast is hot and spicy with an undeniable flavor of clarified butter. The reason being, the spices are roasted with ghee before being grinded and used in the roast.
