CARAMELIZED LEMON CHICKEN
Making a chicken shine with glaze typically requires combining a form of sugar (like honey or maple syrup) with something to balance that sweetness, like lemon juice. But there is an ingredient in your baking arsenal that does both of those things: lemon curd. The sugars in the curd help the skin caramelize to a deep mahogany, while the curd's fat and moisture keep the meat juicy. Spread it on chicken and each bite gets perfumed with sunny lemon. While you can make this recipe using chicken just as you purchased it, the added step of removing the backbone (also known as spatchcocking or butterflying) ensures all parts get browned.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the lemon curd with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- To butterfly the chicken, place the chicken on a cutting board, breast side down. Using sharp kitchen shears, remove the backbone by cutting on either side of the backbone. (Save the backbone for stock.) Flip the chicken, setting it breast side up, and flatten by pressing firmly in the center; you should hear a crack.
- Pat chicken dry. Season the chicken on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Use the handle of a fork or spoon to loosen the skin from the chicken breasts and thighs (you'll find openings at their tops).
- Spread about three-quarters of the lemon curd between the skin and meat. Use your fingers to massage the curd around so it spreads out under the skin. Spread the rest of the lemon curd in a thin layer all over the chicken skin. Drizzle with the olive oil.
- Pour 3/4 cup water into a large (at least 12-inch) oven-safe skillet, shallow roasting pan or sheet pan. (The water keeps the pan drippings from burning and keeps the chicken moist.) Add the chicken, skin side up. Tuck the wings under to prevent burning and turn the legs so the thighs face up. Roast until a thermometer registers 165 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh, 45 minutes to 1 hour, starting to check the chicken at 30 minutes. If at any point it starts getting too brown, cover it with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your lemon curry chicken the best flavor. If you can, use organic chicken and vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Lemon curry chicken is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric, to create a unique flavor profile.
- Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is one of the most important ingredients in lemon curry chicken. Choose a paste that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Cook the chicken until it is tender: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the pan and let it rest before serving.
- Serve with rice or naan: Lemon curry chicken is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with other sides, such as roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Lemon curry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy lemon and creamy coconut milk creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a lemon curry chicken that is even better than takeout.
