Chicken in curry is the old-fashioned version of the classic Danish curry chicken dish — made with a whole stewing hen, first simmered until tender in an aromatic broth. The curry sauce is built up with apple, onion and garlic, then enriched with the good chicken stock. The result is a deeper and more flavourful dish than the quick weekday version made with chicken breast.
