    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.

    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!

    delicious! I added sugar snap peas & mini corn into the sauce for the final 5 mins of cooking - added a welcome crunch and bit of veg!

    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 :)

    Beautiful and easy recipe! Added some veggies (inspo from the comments) which helped bulk it up to roughly 10-12 portions rather than 8! Also couldn’t find yellow curry paste, used red instead - just added some curry powder and turmeric. One lime and was enough for 8 portions and half the amount of suggested water helps.
