Batch: Slow-Roasted Curried Coconut Chicken

Notes
3 hr cook
This batch recipe is extremely hands-off and makes for the juiciest chicken, so tender it falls off the bone. We’re using the whole batch to create three delish recipes: chicken noodle soup, curried chicken sandwich and a light and fragrant salad.

    This has become a favourite for us. Used this recipe for the Christmas turkey, it worked so well!

    My own fault for not reading the recipe fully through first, but it says 1hr cook time, and I didn't realise it was actually a 3hr cook time til I got to the 'put it in the oven' step...just a heads up!

    Hi Katrina, thanks so much for the feedback and we're sorry for the misleading information about timings! We've fixed the cook time to 3 hrs.

    Really enjoyed this one. I often cook whole chicken on Sundays to get few meals and lunch’s out of it. This was nice twist to it. Definitely do this more often and yellow tai paste is new favourite too. Don’t forget to make broth from the chicken bones in the same Pot.

    This was incredible. Didn't have yellow curry paste at the shop so we used green curry paste instead. Also used udon noodles instead of egg. Amazing.

    I love the swaps!! I've also used red thai curry paste instead of yellow and that was also VERY good :)

    Are we covering the chicken in the oven or roasting it uncovered? Hoping to make this tomorrow!

    Would red curry paste work instead of yellow?

    Hi Shuna, yes you could but it will change the flavour and (of course) the colour. Enjoy!

    How many days will this keep in the fridge once cooked, please? Is freezing an option if we want to cook the other recipes the next week?

    Hi Sian! This will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. You could freeze the separate components and use them to make the noodle soup and/or the sandwich, but make sure the chicken is properly defrosted and thoroughly reheated before using. We wouldn't recommend freezing the chicken for the salad as it will effect the texture.

    Delicious, but a little dry, even on the low end of the provided time range.

    Hi Chris! Prick the tomatoes a couple of times using the tip of a knife then transfer to a Tupperware container and pour over the chicken pan juices. Set aside in the fridge until you're ready to use, and you'll have delicious marinated tomatoes.

    Hello, still not really sure what to do with the tomatoes? Is it added to the pan with the chicken? Or roasted separately? Or do you mean just raw tomatoes pricking?...

    Hi. Does anyone know the temperature that you’d use in a gas oven please ? None of the recipes here seem to include gas oven temperatures. Thanks.

    Absolutely LOVE this chicken! It’s so easy with major flavor payoff. It never makes it to the batch stage, we just eat it as-is over rice.
