ROASTED CURRIED CHICKEN WITH COUSCOUS
A great blend of exciting and subtle flavors that are infused into the chicken during cooking, making every bite juicy and lively. As 'lively' as the flavor is, it is also great as a winter comfort food. I like to make the chicken just a bit on the spicy side, as when it is served with a side of mildly spiced couscous it mellows just enough. Makes the whole house smell delicious!

Tips:
- Use fresh curry leaves. Fresh curry leaves have a more intense flavor than dried leaves. If you can't find fresh curry leaves, you can substitute dried leaves, but use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're roasting the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of roast.
- Use a high-quality roasting pan. A good roasting pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking. Look for a pan that is made of heavy-duty material, such as stainless steel or cast iron.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
This roasted chicken with curry leaves and spices is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The curry leaves and spices give the chicken a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this chicken with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
