Rasta (Curried) Chicken

This is a recipe I actually crave for my husband to make. He got this recipe while living on the island of St Lucia from the Rastafarians:) Don’t let the curry throw you on this because it is not hot and the flavor is unbelievable!!!

I used skin-on chicken thighs but you can use whatever pieces you want. Start with cutting slices in the chicken every 2 inches or so. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Season with both garlic salt and pepper on each side. Then add 2 tbsp curry powder, 1/2 small onion diced fine, 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, 1 tbsp minced garlic and one raw egg; mix well to coat chicken. Once coated, push the onions, garlic, etc. into the slices of the chicken. At this point you can grill it until fully-cooked or place in the fridge to marinate for a while. If grilling, cook on low heat (low and slow) until nice and crispy, which is the way we do it. We use Hickory to add smoke to the grill; adds a nice flavor. You can also do this in the oven (however not recommended) at 350 but I would suggest using a rack with a pan underneath so it allows for the chicken to crisp up. Enjoy!
