CHICKEN CURRY A LA MADRAS 
1 (3 lb.) chicken
4 c. curry sauce

Cut chickens in pieces. Roll in flour, salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet or casserole. Add chicken and saute until golden brown on all sides. Discard excess oil. Add curry sauce, cover and simmer for 18 minutes. Add chutney. Cook gently until well done. If curry sauce reduces too quickly, add chicken broth. Serve over rice.
