Grilled Curried Chicken is an excellent combination of subtle spices with a lovely hit of lemon or lime. This is a delicacy in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean with the marinade being used to baste as well. As a main dish, I normally serve this on a bed of rice for a lovely filling meal with the marinade poured over. Also, the spice mix of Grilled Curried Chicken is paprika, coriander, curry powder and cayenne that create a perfect mix. Serve as a main dish for happy diners.
