It doesn't get more warming than a delicious chicken curry. Here are our favourite ones, with a flavour combination for everyone! From Thai curry to Korma, and satay noodles to Katsu, you won't be needing to order a takeaway any time soon.

Making your own curry is so much cheaper than ordering one from your local restaurant, not to mention healthier, so try making one of ours this week instead!

We advise you use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, as thighs are much more tender and won't dry out as quickly.

If you're a fan of these curries, then we have plenty of veggie, fish and lamb curries to try.

For when nothing but a properly hot chicken curry will do! Serious spice lovers can eat the whole chillies along with the curry, but be warned it will be fiery!
