Food and Recipes Meat Chicken Grilled Curried Chicken Thighs with Charred-Vegetable Rice Be the first to rate & review! There's no pot needed for curry flavor in this grilled chicken plate. While different from the traditional dish, our Curried Chicken Thighs fuses the pep and brightness of the Southeast Asian flavor with the ease of backyard grilling. Simply sprinkle the curry seasoning and fire up the grill, and you're well on your way to a chicken dinner that's anything but ordinary. Our pro grilling tip for any chicken thigh recipe? Make sure the grill doesn't get too hot, or the chicken skin will burn before the inside is cooked. Keep a meat thermometer handy so you know exactly when the thickest portion registers at the right temperature. Finish off your plate with a side that can sizzle on the grill as well. If you keep the grill temperature at medium, it's the right amount of heat for charring vegetables for the Charred-Vegetable rice as well. All in all, this curry-flavored dinner can be ready in under an hour straight from the grill.
