Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken, spatchcocked
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, sliced fine
  • 3 spring onions, sliced fine
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 – 3 fresh red chillis (optional)
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup sambal oelek
  • 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
  • 300ml chicken stock
  • 1 x 400gm tin coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup cashews 
  • Handful chopped coriander and mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C
  2. Place lemongrass, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilli if using them, ground coriander, turmeric and vegetable oil in a large roasting tray. Pour in the chicken stock and 200ml (half) the tin of coconut milk. Stir to combine. 
  3. Place spatchcocked chicken on top of the sauce and sprinkle lightly with salt (the sauce is already salty). Do not add oil or cover the chicken skin with sauce at this stage.
  4. Roast for 45 – 50 minutes until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy. 
  5. Remove tray from oven and transfer chicken to a large plate to rest. 
  6. Increase oven heat to 220°C. Pour remaining 200ml coconut milk into a roasting tray, stir to combine and return to oven for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken and become glossy.
  7. Dry roast cashew nuts until lightly browned. Chop into small chunks.
  8. Cur chicken into 6 – 8 pieces. Return to the roasting tin and spoon curry sauce over each piece. Squeeze over the lime juice, sprinkle with roasted cashews and scatter with coriander and mint. Serve in the tray.
