Chicken Curry I image

This is a very old family recipe. It's everybody's favorite. Curry should be cooked slowly for a long time to get the best flavor. I often cook it the day before for even better flavor. Serve over rice.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
3 onions, chopped
