Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup red curry paste
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the sheet pan
1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 pound carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
12 skin-on chicken drumsticks
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Basmati rice, for serving (two to three 8.5-ounce pouches of microwave rice, cooked according to package directions)
12 ounces plain Greek yogurt, for serving
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the curry paste, vegetable oil, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • Put the green beans and carrots on an oiled sheet pan and pour slightly less than half the curry mixture over them. Use a pair of tongs to toss and coat them. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Nestle the chicken drumsticks on the sheet pan. Using a spatula or spoon, spread the remaining curry mixture on the drumsticks. Do your best to coat them evenly. Season the chicken with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Roast the chicken and vegetables (turning them halfway through to prevent them from getting too dark on the bottom) until they are tender and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken (without touching the bone) reads 170 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
  • Scrape the chicken, vegetables, and any browned bits from the pan onto a large serving dish and garnish with the cilantro.
  • Serve with rice, yogurt and lime wedges.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons ghee or virgin coconut oil
8 chicken drumsticks
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 large onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 lemongrass stalk, crushed (optional)
3 tablespoons vadouvan or any yellow curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (13.5-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems, divided
1 (14-ounce) package rice noodles
Crispy shallots or onions (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat ghee in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until skin is golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate (it will not be cooked through).
  • Add onions to same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic, lemongrass (if using), vadouvan, and cayenne and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth, coconut milk, lime juice, and 1/2 cup cilantro, then return chicken to skillet and gently push down into liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and cooked through and sauce is thickened, 40-45 minutes. Be sure to turn chicken a couple of times while it's cooking so all sides get exposed to the curry sauce.
  • Just before chicken is done, cook noodles according to package directions. Rinse noodles under warm water, then toss in a large bowl with a little bit of the curry sauce. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Divide noodles among shallow bowls. Place drumsticks on top and ladle curry sauce over. Top with crispy shallots and remaining 1/2 cup cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

BREADED CURRY CHICKEN DRUMMIES



Breaded Curry Chicken Drummies image

These drumsticks are crispy with just the right amount of zing to get your mouth watering for more! They are super easy to make and are baked rather than fried so they save on fat but not on flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or assorted chicken parts can be used instead of all drumsticks. -Lynn Kaufman, Mount Morris, Illinois

  • For a flavorful marinade, combine yogurt, curry powder, ginger, garlic, and lemon juice. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply season it with salt, pepper, and curry powder before cooking.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken drumsticks over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the curried chicken drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or naan bread.
