Red Curried BBQ Chicken
Thai Red BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
This was definitely a summer to remember! I cooked BBQ chicken drumsticks in a red curry sauce marinade and the results were just delicious. The smokey but spicy flavours in every mouthful were amazing, you can definitely try with other pastes in the collection - depending on how spicy you want your chicken.
For a milder version but still similar taste use Panang curry paste instead of Red. For an even spicier version, use Jungle curry paste as there is more chilli and black pepper, equally as delicious especially if you like spicy hot wings! You can find out about the different types of curry pastes here and their flavours if you wish to use a different paste for your marinade.

I chose a medium spiced Thai paste for this time as there were a couple of people who could handle spice and some who couldn't, so the Red curry paste was a fab in between.
