REVIEWS:

I've been making this one for years. Everyone who has tried it loves it. My family looks forward to company and this recipe.

My family requires a gluten free diet, so I substituted GF pancake mix for the flour. My entire family loved it!!! I will definitely make it again.

Love love love this chicken!

I have made this recipe for years. It is always a crowd pleaser. Everyone from grandmother to grandchild loves it.

This has become one of my go to chicken recipes. My family loves the heat from the cayenne and the curry (I actually add a little more because we love curry flavor so much). This has definitely become a favorite in my household.

I think I'll find a recipe that does not include the curry. I thought it was okay but the curry was too powerful for my taste.

This chicken bakes to a beautiful, appetizing color! I don't like spicy, so I reduced the curry to 1/2 teaspoon and it was great. That you don't have to brown the chicken first saves time.

This was an easy dish to prepare and the chicken was extremely moist and tasty.

This has been a family favorite for over 10 years now. It's sweet & juicy. The curry is not over-powering. Fantastic. We actually crave this dish!

Just made this for dinner. Hubby and I loved it! I used all chicken breasts on the bone...delicious. We love the sweet flavor.

Quick and easy but I found it lacking that kick of flavor.

I had defrosted some chicken and just wanted a "change" in the way I cooked it, so I came to TOH - boy, was I glad I did!!

This was the second recipe I looked at - so tasty! finger licken good! and well received by the family. Thank you!

I have made this recipe many times also. It's very easy and well worth the time it takes to baste it. My husband requests this sometimes, too. High praise!
