Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Remove saucepan from heat and let cool. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Pour stock through a fine strainer into a 4-qt. saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat; cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 11/2 hours. Let cool. Meanwhile, remove meat from chicken and tear into thick strips, discarding skin and bones; refrigerate.
- To make the sauce, heat butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, 3-5 minutes. Add curry powder, cook for 2 minutes, and stir in flour. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add reduced stock and bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until thick, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Pour sauce through a fine strainer into a large bowl and discard solids. Stir currants and apricots into sauce, and let cool. Add mayonnaise, yogurt, chutney, and lemon juice to cooled sauce, season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Add chicken to cooled sauce, and toss to combine; refrigerate.
