This dish combines the beloved crispiness of fried chicken with the rich, aromatic flavors of a traditional curry. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

So, let’s roll up our sleeves, and get cooking! Here’s how you can make this amazing Crispy Chicken Curry right in your own kitchen.

### Ingredients:
**For the Crispy Chicken:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– Vegetable oil for frying

**For the Curry Sauce:**
– 1 tbsp vegetable oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
– 2 tbsp curry powder
– 1 tsp turmeric
– 1/2 tsp cumin
– 1/2 tsp coriander
– 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
– 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
– 1 tbsp tomato paste
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Prepping the Chicken
1. **Marinate:** In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, let them sit overnight in the fridge. This makes them super tender and juicy!

2. **Bread the Chicken:** In another bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in the flour mixture, pressing it in so it sticks well.

#### Step 2: Frying the Chicken
3. **Heat the Oil:** Pour about an inch of vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. To check if it’s hot enough, drop in a tiny piece of bread; if it sizzles and turns golden quickly, you’re good to go!

4. **Fry:** Carefully place the breaded chicken thighs in the hot oil. Fry them for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

#### Step 3: Making the Curry Sauce
5. **Saute the Aromatics:** In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they’re translucent, about 5 minutes. Throw in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.

6. **Spice It Up:** Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Stir well, letting the spices toast slightly for about 2 minutes.

7. **Add Liquids:** Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

#### Step 4: Bringing It All Together
8. **Combine Chicken and Curry:** Now, it’s time for the grand finale! Place the crispy chicken thighs into the simmering curry sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the chicken. Let it all simmer together for about 5 minutes, just to mix those flavors.

9. **Serve:** Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve this bad boy over a bed of fluffy basmati rice or with some warm naan bread. Trust me, your family will be begging for seconds!

### Tips and Personal Insights:
– **Make it Spicy:** If you love a bit of heat, add a diced chili or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the curry sauce.
– **Veggie Boost:** Feel free to add some veggies like peas, spinach, or bell peppers into the sauce to make it a more balanced meal.
– **Leftovers:** If you have any leftovers (which I doubt you will), the curry tastes even better the next day! Just keep the chicken and sauce separate when storing to keep the chicken crispy.

There you have it! A delightful Crispy Chicken Curry that’ll quickly become a staple in your household. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out in the comments below! Happy cooking, and as always, happy eating! 🧡🍽️
