This slow cooked chicken curry in oven can be made by beginners and experts alike. It’s especially convenient on days that you have planned a deep kitchen cleaning. The oven temperature should be medium hot (180 C in my oven). The slow cooking results in super tender chicken that disintegrates to the touch and a delicious curry (gravy).

 

You will be able to make this oven chicken curry (no fuss recipe) quite easily yourself. Enjoy it with rice, roti or paratha. 😊
