Fried Chicken Smothered in Curried Gravy and Onions for Curried Chicken Day!

 

Did you know that almost everyday in the year is a food holiday?! Well I didn’t, until I started blogging, it simply gives me another reason to enjoy and celebrate all my favorite foods and dishes throughout the year. 

Today January 12, 2014, is none other than Curry Chicken Day!

When I think of curry I think of Caribbean but it’s actually original to the Asian continent, the influence of curry came from the many Indians who settled the Caribbean.

Curry is one of those flavors most people usually Love or Hate, I personally sit somewhere in between, it’s a taste that I have become accustomed to, and when I mix my Southern roots into the dish it becomes more than tolerable but downright delicious.

This recipe is one I’ve been making a while now, and my family absolutely loves it. I took flavors from a different  African diaspora and made it one delightful and flavorful dish!

The Fried chicken is beautifully seasoned and  fried, then smothered in a delicious and hearty curry gravy with onions. Served over top of rice and greens this makes a whole and perfect meal!

Happy Curried Chicken Day!
