Yellow Chicken Curry
We have made this with several cuts of chicken- baked it and grilled it. It is always delightful! In this recipe we prepare it in the dutch oven. It has a fantastic flavor but is not too spicy or hot. We highly suggest using the curry paste as a marinade and grilling some drumsticks - everyone will love them.
