Thai curried roast chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines the bold spices of Thai curry with the succulent tenderness of roasted chicken.

This paste is then added to a marinade along with coconut milk and other spices to create a rich and flavorful sauce that coats the chicken as it roasts. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and tender, with a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and acidity.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken (about 1.5kg)
2 lemongrass stalks , bashed
2 limes , 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges
2cm piece ginger , skin on and squashed once with the flat part of a knife
2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp brown sugar
400g can coconut milk
2 tsp fish sauce
small pack coriander , chopped (optional)
1 red chilli , sliced, to serve
cooked rice and greens, to serve

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.

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce with garlic
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Transfer to a platter, and cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
