Great chutney glaze, even though there is nothing Turkish about it. But it is all just sweet and the chicken itself was lacking in flavor, so I did rub it with some grill seasoning before grilling. Turned out really well. -
Loved the flavor. But the chicken to me was a bit bland. So my solution was I mixed a little extra five spice powder (1 teaspoon), honey (1 teaspoon), and lime juice (1 teaspoon) and rubbed on the chicken. Added to a baggie and let marinate a few hours (2-4) for me. Then I grilled as suggested. One other change - my chutney is very very chunky so I put mine in the food processor and just a quick pulse. It was a bit finer, same flavor, saved time rather than hand chopping. I wanted it easier to brush on the chicken. As is, it was, it was way to chunky and most of the flavor would of fallen off. The flavor was excellent, but after making it both ways, I preferred to marinade the chicken a bit to make it more tender. The final garnish is definitely worth it. The chicken thighs were great as they are very rich and don't dry out as much as chicken breasts. I really liked the flavor. You may want to mention the type of chutney. I have a cherry, or mango, or pear, or apple. There are many brands out there. Peach and even papaya. The type of chutney can make a huge difference -
I made this today and my boyfriend just loved it!!! I did marinaded the chicken for 3 hrs before cooking though. The chutney added a such nice flavor!! -
Absolutely Awesome, I was surprised that it really didn't take that long to prepare either... great taste and easy... you can't get much better than that

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
