I served this with a side of curried couscous. There were no leftovers. Made for Gimmie 5 Tag

We enjoyed this but thought that the curry flavor really didn't come through like we had hoped for. Next time I would double the curry to get that wonderful flavor. I also didn't have any marinade leftover, no big deal. But cooking over medium hot heat caused a flare up so I moved the chicken to indirect heat. I did use bone in with skin on chicken breast for this dish. Overall a great dish. Thanks Annacia for posting.

I used chicken breasts for this recipe and it worked perfectly. The curry comes thru very nicely on this chicken which is a wonderful switch-up for us when marinating. First time actually. Also, as Mary suggested, added a bit of chopped fresh cilantro. Wonderful blend. A keeper that's for sure. Made for 123Hitwonders~

This was wonderful. I used fresh cilantro instead of the coriander and didn't have time with 5 hungry teenagers to garnish the dish. I also used leg quarters instead of whole chickens. This was so good! Will make again soon. Made for Photo Tag.

Delicious! I love lime, I love curry, and I love coriander so I knew I'd love this as soon as I read it. I had some issues with the amount of oil in the marinade causing a lot of flare-up every time I basted and the coriander is just a touch strong so I might reduce those a little next time. Regardless, its a wonderful change from the usual BBQ or lemon flavors you generally find on grilled chicken. It will be on the menu regularly.
