Whole Butter Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Red Onion
Introduction
This is a really celebratory roast chicken, with a completely addictive tomato sauce which cooks away happily underneath the tandoori-spiced bird. You may want to save it for a special occasion on account of the butter and cream – I think it’s nice enough to have for a family dinner every few weeks or so.
