Curried Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

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.

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.
