I made the Curry Butter Chicken Thighs, for my family of three generations, from 73 to 2 years old and they all loved it. As you willnote I used Thights instead of legs and I did them in the oven. Great recipe and I will do it again

These were yummy! We enjoyed these very much. I would add a bit of salt next time. DH was in charge of stuffing the legs, and was having a hard time getting the stuffing to stay put. To solve it we stuffed the chicken leg and then used a toothpick to hold the skin opening to the meat and problem solved! We had more than enough butter for basting, could have easily done another 4 legs. thanks for posting Charmie!!
