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!!

Delicious and tender. I modified the cooking method on my gas grill by turning the center on high, then moved the chicken to the sides on low when things started to get a little too hot.

I adapted this recipe to make it gluten free for the ZWT8 ~Great Backyard Barbie Challenge ~ Cooking, and to go with what I had on hand and the time to make it - despite all that the chicken turned out quite delicious! I used 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts which I pounded slightly to make and even width. I eliminated the panko to make it gluten free. I took the other ingredients - reducing the butter and emulsified them with my hand blender. I spread the mixture all over the chicken breasts and let it sit while I heated up the grill. I grilled the breasts with the grill set to medium- low after heating it up on high. The chicken grilled nice and evenly the coating gave it a great flavor and helped to keep it moist. The flavor was wonderful the curry subtle but present; I would like to try this again when I have more time to marinate. I had the leftovers for lunch and it tasted wonderful even reheated. Thanks for sharing Charmie - this one's a keeper! Made by one of The Wild Bunch
