- But before we get started
- Okay.
- We're going to have two teams over here.
You're going to be team sauce,
and you're going to be team chicken.
- Great.
- How does that sound?
- I think we're gonna kick y'all's tail.
- Fantastic, but the important thing is,
both the chicken and the sauce
has to get together to be the perfect dish.
- [Kelly] Okay, got it. - So what do we do first?
- So, Kelly, why don't you get started
with roasting these spices?
That's some butter.
- [Kelly] Okay.
- [Chef] Just put this garam masala.
- [Kelly] Just dump it all?
- [Chef] Yes, and slowly, wow, yes!
- I like to sing when I cook! - Gently, gently.
- Okay.
- Let the beautiful aromas of the spice come out.
- I don't really do anything gently.
Sorry.
- Me neither, me neither.
- I'm all in!
- Me too!
- Okay, Arden, what we are going to do
is we're going to marinate the chicken!
- I've never cooked.
- Okay, fantastic.
(audience laughing) Now is the best, on TV is the best time
to learn how to cook, right?
(laughing)
- Everybody wants me to deal in poultry, great, okay.
- So, this is some yogurt,
there is some lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt.
So go ahead and mix this and put the chicken in it
and we are going to--
- [Arden] With this?
- Absolutely!
- [Arden] Okay great, okay.
- Okay Nick, we are going to make the sauce.
- I'm ready. - This is the butter sauce.
- [Kelly] What's he doing?
- So there is some butter in this.
If we take the tandoori masala and the fenugreek leaves,
just put it in it and--
- [Nick] The whole thing? - [Chef] The whole thing in.
The more the merrier. - Nick do you ever cook?
- What's that?
- Because your wife is Indian, do y'all ever cook?
- She doesn't really cook but her family keeps us well fed.
- That is awesome!
Let's go ahead and put some of the fenugreek leaves.
That's for good luck.
It's like salt.
- [Nick] That's suspicious.
- Absolutely, so let's go ahead and mix this.
Just these two spices, let them roast.
Oh, my god!
- [Kelly] Oh, hey!
- Ladies, ladies!
- Oh, hi!
- I'm here to the rescue!
- Okay.
- We can use tongs!
- Okay, great.
- No, what's the fun in that?
- Go for it.
Go for it.
- Okay, hands in the food!
- [Kelly] Yes, yes, yes.
- [Chef] Awesome.
- [Arden] Yes, yes, yes. - [Kelly] My ring looks great.
My ring looks great.
I just had it cleaned.
It's fine.
- Okay, now is the fun part!
- Okay, great.
- [Chef] We're going to go ahead and
pour these toasted spices
right over here, and we mix it.
If you guys want to put your hands in, go for it.
- I'm gonna need another, okay.
You get in there.
- [Arden] Potato's loving it right now.
Potato is cheering us on from right there.
- [Chef] Okay, Nick, how do we look?
- [Nick] We look good.
- This looks fantastic!
Let's go ahead and put some marinara sauce in it.
- I like it.
- [Nick] The whole thing?
- [Chef] The whole thing.
Because nothing says Indian food like marinara sauce, right?
- Wait, what?
(laughs)
- That's what I always say.
- [Arden] I loved you on "Chopped." "Chopped" is so fun.
- Oh, my god, it is fun. It's very stressful.
- I love it.
- [Chef] Absolutely.
Okay, this looks amazing.
Be careful as we are mixing it.
- Okay, we're mixing this chicken, though.
What do we do now?
- [Chef] Now, it's the magic of television.
You are going to put the chicken in this bag.
- A team effort.
- It's a team effort.
- I got it.
- You're taking one for the team,
because my hands are clean.
You're amazing.
- I think it's the sauce team which is winning right now.
- I think so.
- Absolutely.
- Okay, so we're done with that. What do we do?
- Fantastic.
- Right now-- - And then they go together?
- They go together.
So the chicken, we are going to keep it for 24 hours.
- Okay.
- Magic of television.
- Absolutely. We're going to put it on a sheet rack.
- [Kelly] Look at that.
- [Nick] Wow.
- Skilled!
- I know!
Nick, why don't we go ahead and put the salt,
the cream, and just a little bit of honey.
- Okay, salt.
- [Chef] Fantastic.
- [Nick} Cream.
All of the cream?
- All of the cream.
- [Kelly] Yes!
- [Chef] See, this is a butter sauce,
so the more butter, the more creamy
it is, even better.
- [Arden] I love flavors. - [Kelly] So this is it?
- So, I have baked this around 15-20 minutes,
350 degrees, and then put it on the broil setting
so that you get this lovely charred look
right over here.
- [Kelly] Like grilling does that.
- Absolutely.
- And then, Kelly, if you just take
this chicken and put it in the sauce.
- Watch this chick.
- Right in there.
- Nice.
- Go team, go team!
- [Kelly] And, dunk!
- [Chef] Gently!
- [Kelly] Oh, sure.
I told you I don't do gently.
- Leave it on the field, Kelly.
- I believe in you.
(laughs)
- I thought you said, "I believe you."
- That too.
- Okay!
- And the magic of television.
- [Kelly] We have one ready to eat.
- Of course we do.
- Wow!
- Right over here.
- We're so talented.
- [Kelly] Look what we did!
- [Arden] Look what we did!
- [Kelly] So these are all edible, obviously.
- All edible flowers and some microgreens right over here.
- Look what we did!
- Boom, boom!
- Oh, my god, I worked so hard on this.
- [Kelly] Let's do it.
- [Chef] Let's do this.
- [Arden] I want to taste it.
Oh, my god, I'm so happy.
- [Chef] Let's see how you guys did.
- Okay.
- It's so simple, right?
So simple.
- Oh, my god.
Please send this to my room for lunch.
