Chicken bhuna is a popular South Asian curry made with bone-in chicken pieces that are first marinated in a blend of spices and then cooked until tender in a thick, flavorful sauce made with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a variety of aromatic spices. The dish is typically made by slowly cooking the chicken in the sauce until the meat falls off the bone and the sauce is thick and rich.

Chicken bhuna can be served with rice or flatbreads, and is often garnished with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
