Thai Curried Roast Chicken Food

THAI CURRIED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cilantro, curry paste, oil, honey, chili sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
• Place chicken, breast side up, on a work surface; slide fingers under skin to loosen it (being careful not to tear skin). Evenly rub half of spice mixture under skin; rub the rest over skin. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Using kitchen twine, tie legs together; tuck wing tips under.
• Roast until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil; continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

THAI GREEN CURRY ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sit the chicken in a flameproof roasting tin or shallow casserole dish and stuff the lemongrass, lime halves and ginger in the cavity. Mix half the curry paste with the oil and use your hands to smear the curry paste all over the chicken and under the skin. Can be prepared up to a day ahead and left to marinate, covered, in the fridge. Take out an hour before roasting.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover the tin with foil and roast for 40 mins, then remove the foil and roast for another 30 mins until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Lift the chicken, draining the roasting juices back into the tin, and sit on a board or dish that will catch the juices. Use a pair of tongs to remove the lime, lemongrass and ginger from the cavity and place them in the tin with the remaining curry paste and brown sugar.
• Place the tin back on the heat and sizzle everything together, squashing the lime with the back of a spoon until everything is sticky. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring well, then add any resting juices and the fish sauce. Simmer again briefly, then sit the chicken back in the tin and scatter with coriander, if using, and the chilli. Bring the chicken to the table and serve with rice and greens with the curry sauce spooned over, and extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
