This crispy chicken with colonial curry sauce recipe is a family favourite. I learnt the recipe over 20 years ago in Sydney from an old Hainanese uncle. We usually cook this as a curry, but today I will cook the chicken first to give it a crispy skin and then serve it with the sauce! If you are in a hurry, you can simply sauté the onions and chicken first and cook the chicken in the sauce. It goes really well with white rice!

Now onto my Crispy Chicken with Colonial Curry Sauce recipe!
