    The best thing I've cooked all year! Literally will never make a curry any other way - my partner is still talking about it - will be making this weekly AT LEAST!!!! I think I added Bok Choi and had to finish the chicken in the oven because my extractor fan carked it.

    This is extremely tasty but not a big portion if you're a big eater. Great for lunch though and super easy to make, really delicious.

    loved this so much. used red curry paste and did the chicken in the air fryer, 190° for 16 mins flipping half way through, definitely secured its spot in the weekly rotation!

    I have a shellfish allergy- is it still worth doing when excluding the oyster sauce?

    ‘Twas delicious! added spinach per other’s rec, but I think next time I’ll do little broccoli florets. the chicken itself was *divine* and my curry paste seemed spicy enough on its own to not need the chili oil

    delicious! the chilli oil and crispy onions elevate it so much, though I agree with other comments to say adding some veggies is good :)
