Honey Curry Chicken Thighs
Thank GOD the weekend is almost here!!! This week has been a jumbled mess! Somehow I fell out of my routine on Monday and haven’t been able to get it together since. (Ever have those kinda weeks?) The laundry is backed up to high heaven, unread email is through the roof and I haven’t even touched my sewing machine. Ugghh!!
Well at least tonight’s dinner was a success!
I served up these super easy and savory honey curry chicken thighs with basmati rice, caramelized baked sweet potato slices, and french-cut green beans. DIVINE!
I used thighs in this recipe but you can use breasts, legs, wings or whatever you have on hand. Just be sure to flatten the breasts out so everything cooks evenly. The curry powder, honey, and grey poupon are a match made in heaven!! The soy sauce adds just the right amount of saltiness to balance out the sweetness of the honey and smokiness from the curry powder.
I think I will try this on a whole chicken in my crock pot next month, just because I love the flavors so much.
There was none of this chicken left over, even my little man demolished two whole thighs! (there goes my panini idea for lunch tomorrow!) Next time I’ll double the recipe. I love how it has tons of bold ingredients but is still kid-friendly. It’s a winner in our household! Hope you enjoy it as well!!
I marinated for 4 hours which was enough for these thin, boneless thighs. If using bone-in chicken or thicker cuts marinate overnight for maximum flavor! Tastes amazing on the grill!!
Resist the urge to poke at and move the chicken around while cooking. Just place them in the pan and leave them be!!
NOTE: BASTE SAFELY: If you want to baste using the marinade, reserve a small amount before adding in the raw meat. Although I do baste with raw chicken marinades at time (making sure that there is plenty of cooking time left) it’s probably best to not advise others to do so just to be on the super extra safe side.
Watch me make these Honey Curry Chicken Thighs from start to finish!

what kind of grill did you use? I used a stove top grill. I had to take the bone out of the middle because the meat did not lay flat. the family loves it still although it took me some time to finish them.
All the ladies have taken all the words out of my mouth. I love you for this site!i look forward to cooking new things from your site? I have my thighs marinating for tomorrow. Tried the hard boiled egg r and it turned out great. We eat eggs a lot around here and never knew that we was over cooking them. Lol I will be trying the meat loaf this week as well. Thank you so much.
I love your tutorials and everything is simple and your right we have most of these ingredients already in our fridge and cabinet!,, I’m not afraid to go into the store and find what I need because I have used it before. I’m not in there looking for things I have never heard of so it does not intimidate me and that is usually why I. Won’t cook from a cook book. Thanks againand thank God for you!,
What temp should I bake these?
:0 My sister doesn’t really mean that. It’s just she is not a fan of curry. But good dish, though. 😀
No offense but, it looks really not appetizing. 🙁
Thats a shame, because it tastes great!
I made this the first time a couple weeks ago and even my daughter who isnt a fan of chicken loved it..needless to say it is a big hit in the family..I’ve been sharing the love..Sharing your video with friends and family thank you so much it is soo yummy
This is so delicious. I have an issue though:( The first two times I made this it came out perfect. The last two times the marinade burns. I’ve been making chicken legs and using a lodge cast iron grill pan. I’ve tried adjusting the heat but the marinade still burned on the outside before the chicken can fully cook inside. Any tips on how I can keep this from happening. My hubby demands it every week now. Help:)
