Roasted curry chicken

Succulent and juicy roasted curry chicken with just six staple pantry ingredients. 

Roasted curry chicken

You need to try this roasted curry chicken. All you need is:

  1. Yogurt: Using yogurt for marinades is fairly new to me but trust me it is incredible in this marinade. It helps tenderise the meat and all the spices are well absorbed. However, marinating longer for instance overnight, leads to a very tender and soft meat. If want it softer, go for it. I would go with at most four hours.
  2. Green chillies: Green chilli gives a nice taste and aroma  and heat to the roasted chicken. Plus I have more than I can use now so onto the marinade it goes. Feel free to add more or less to marinade.
  3. Curry powder: This is the core of the chicken. If you love curry, you will be in curry heaven whiles eating this.
  4. Garlic and spring onions: These two add up to make  a succulent chicken. The first time I made this, I didn’t have spring onions so I omitted it. Not much difference is felt when the spring onions is omitted. But, I am not leaving it out of this again! It is good.
