Red Curry Chicken image

Warm up on a chilly fall evening with this Thai-inspired curry. The classic mix of sweet coconut milk and savory red curry paste are sure to liven up a weeknight meal. Instead of a traditional wok, I am using a casserole dish and letting the chicken braise in the oven.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk (not light)
3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 lemongrass stalks, trimmed and banged with the back of a knife, then roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into rounds
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 6 pieces
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/2 cup roughly chopped basil (preferably Thai basil)
Lime wedges, for serving
Cooked rice or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the coconut milk, curry paste, and fish sauce together in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; add the onion, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. Lightly season the chicken and add it to the baking dish, turning to coat in the sauce, then arranging it skin-side-up.
  • Bake the chicken, basting occasionally with the sauce, until lightly browned on top and cooked through (an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast registers 160 degrees F), 50 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro and basil and serve with lime wedges on the side. Serve with cooked rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the red curry chicken turned out terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The red curry chicken was bland and the chicken was dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The red curry chicken was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The red curry chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still delicious. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili paste next time.
