- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Spice Rub:
- In a small bowl, mix together curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up during roasting.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and in the cavity.
- Marinate:
- In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice.
- Rub this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.
- Roast the Chicken:
- Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan or on a rack in a baking dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking times may vary based on your oven and the size of the chicken.
- Rest and Garnish:
- Allow the chicken to rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
- Serve:
- Carve the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides. It goes well with rice, naan, or roasted vegetables.
Feel free to adjust the spice levels and herbs according to your taste preferences. This curry roast chicken is sure to add a burst of exotic flavors to your dinner table. Enjoy!
