Malai namkeen chicken is a delicious, succulent, and mildly spiced chicken recipe. It is made with basic spices and goes well with Bread Slices, Bun Burgers, Bakery Sheermal, or even with Puri Paratha or Puri. This chicken can also be used in Roll Paratha.

This recipe is totally the other chicken version that I made by thinking of two combinations of recipes, malai and namkeen. It has been a great experiment. You can even add many of the recipes, like Sandwich, Noodles, or Plain Rice.

In this namkeen chicken recipe, chicken pieces are lightly cooked in yogurt and milk with basic spices rather than cream. Apart from that, they are very mildly spiced and tangy with a black pepper flavor. This chicken isn’t marinated or uses any cream in it, even then, it is made juicy and super soft.

Recipe notes:

Traditionally, cream is used to make succulent meat in a malai recipe, but here I used only milk and yogurt. However, you can use yogurt and cream for a richer flavor.

I opted for chicken with bones in this recipe, although breast or thigh meat can also be used. I strongly recommend using chicken with bones, as they release their juices and help enhance the taste of the curry.

Additionally, I used butter mixed with olive oil in this recipe. Don’t skip this ingredient, as butter preserves the flavor of malai chicken.
