- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon of curry powder

- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the mixture. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Set aside.
