Ingredients
1/2 cup red curry paste
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the sheet pan
1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 pound carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
12 skin-on chicken drumsticks
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Basmati rice, for serving (two to three 8.5-ounce pouches of microwave rice, cooked according to package directions)
12 ounces plain Greek yogurt, for serving
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving
Directions
- 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.
