Baked Chicken in Curry
Curry-covered chicken drumsticks and thighs. Slow-bake on medium heat. The chicken gravy is used for baked potatoes.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks and thighs, dried with paper towel
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons oregano (optional)
- 3/4 to 1 cup canola oil (or other, according to your preference and familiarity with aromas of each oil)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 356 Fahrenheit / 180 Celsius on top-bottom heat, no-fan.
Step 1
Slice off over-flap of chicken skin and dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix spices with oil in bowl to create sauce.
Step 3
Place chicken in pan. Gently lift skin to brush sauce underneath as much as possible, without tearing it.
Step 4
Cover with rest of sauce. Place parchment paper on top, with edges inside pan. Tuck a bit under chicken.
Step 5
Place in oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When fork penetrates chicken with no resistance at all, it's ready.
For Browner Skin
If you'd like to to brown more on top, raise the heat to 374 Fahrenheit / 190 Celsius, and remove the parchment paper covering about 15 minutes before the time is up.
