3-Ingredient Curried Chicken Thighs

This simple recipe for curried chicken thighs proves that you only need a handful of shop-bought staples to create a deeply aromatic and satisfying main course. By marinating the chicken in a blend of creamy yogurt and fragrant curry powder, the meat remains incredibly succulent while the skin crisps beautifully in the oven. It is a wonderful way to bring a punch of spice to your midweek menu without the need for a long list of ingredients.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for those managing blood sugar levels. The juices from the roasting tin are whisked with extra yogurt to create a light, savoury sauce that complements the spiced poultry perfectly. Serve it alongside a generous portion of steamed greens for a balanced and nutritious homemade meal.

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Curried Chicken Thighs

  • 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • 240ml plain yoghurt, divided

How to make 3-Ingredient Curried Chicken Thighs

Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk oil, curry powder, and 120ml yoghurt in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and chill at least 3 hours.

Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 218°C. Transfer chicken, skin side up, and marinade to a 13x9" baking dish. Roast chicken until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted near bone registers 74°C, 30–35 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter, reserving pan juices. Skim off excess fat from juices with a spoon, then transfer 60ml juices to a small bowl. Whisk in remaining 80g yoghurt; season with remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt. Serve alongside chicken.

Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead; keep chilled.
