Thanksgiving turkey is just not my thing. I prefer chicken, and I love experimenting with Indian fusion fall themed flavors for marinades. Enter apple butter chutney: the PERFECT Thanksgiving chicken marinade (try this on wings, it’s just as delicious). It plates beautifully, and it tastes insanely good. It’s naturally sweet,…
