CURRY CHICKEN

1 pkg. chicken wing drumettes (3-4 lb.) or
1 med. sized chicken (3-4 lb.), cut into sm. pieces
3 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 of an onion, diced
Optional: 1 teaspoon of lemon grass powder or fresh lemon grass chop into fine pieces. Lemon grass can only be purchased at an oriental food store. Put water in a pan big enough to hold all ingredients. Add all spices. Stir until mixed. Add chicken and onion. Cook on high until boiling, then lower temperature to medium. Stir well, then cover. Cook (covered) until sauce has thickened and chicken is well-cooked (approximately 30-40 minutes). Stir every 10 minutes so chicken is coated evenly with the sauce. More water can be added if a thinner sauce is desired. Serve with steamed rice. 4-6 servings.
