Chef Joey's Chicken Vindaloo

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"This recipe is very tasty. It reminds me of something I once ate in an East Indian restaurant. The chicken is set in a marinade and it really helps add to the flavor and tenderizes the fowl. Be aware that the prep time doesn't include the marinade time for the chicken."

Good flavor. I used boneless skinless thighs cut into pieces. Next time I will thicken it up a bit. Thanks for posting.
