Frequently Asked Questions

What type of chicken is best for curry recipes?

Go with chicken thighs, they’re juicy and absorb flavors like a dream. Personally, I prefer bone-in (skinless) for my curries, but you can certainly use boneless if you prefer.

Are these recipes spicy?

Some are and some aren’t! Though you can certainly adjust the heat to your preference. If you love spicy, some top picks on the list are Thai Green Curry, Chicken Masala and Jamaican Curry. If you’re looking for milder, some top picks are Korma, Caldereta and South African Curry.

What can I serve with chicken curry?

Fluffy basmati rice, naan, or even couscous. Each provides a beautiful stage for your curry to shine.
