This tangy Thai-inspired recipe makes a very strong argument for chicken being the most delicious meats of all-time.

    Made this for dinner tonight. I fried the chicken until crispy but finished in the over to ensure cooked through. I found yellow paste easily enough. Also used three limes. On tasting it was quite strong but I added more salt and it balanced out.

    Sweet Christ, this was delicious! I used red curry paste as I couldn’t find yellow, and put an obligatory pile of broccoli on the side. It was great for leftovers al desko the next day.

    Really tasty! Couldn't find yellow curry paste in my local supermarket so just added a bit of turmeric to some red.

    Delicious! I only added half a lime as others had suggested and used an air fryer to cook the chicken, I also added Swiss chard because I had some, I think you get huge flavour pay off for not much work, yum!

    Substituted half of chicken with chickpeas (last 5min of cooking in soup) and added steamed greens on the plate. Great dish!

    Excellent recipe. I cooked it for my Fiancée and myself and we both loved it. I couldn't find yellow Thai paste so used green and used chicken breasts.

    I used one half a lime. I think any more would be too acidic. Yours looks fab!

    I braised it all in the oven for an hour to keep the meat tender - beautiful flavour - also substituted a different curry paste which worked fine too

    Bloomin' delish. I halved the no. of chicken thighs used and subbed in a can of chickpeas. Don't skimp on frying some quick crispy shallots/onions and adding some form of chilli oil, it really adds some extra texture.

    Great dish, super easy and tasty. Actually only takes 30 mins start to finish! Used a veggie alternative to oyster sauce (mushroom sauce) due to a shellfish allergy and it worked really well. Going to try with green beans next time.
