These were okay. The chicken was a little dry and the curry flavor was a bit bland.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but these were really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the curry flavor wasn't too overpowering.

I've made these several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce.

These were a hit! I made them for a party and everyone loved them. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. I added some extra curry powder and they were perfect.
