Yes, curry and chicken are a delicious duo. Curry adds a faint flavor to the roast, as do the red pepper flakes. This mix is also a great rub for turkey.  Your dollar goes further with a roast. They take so little time to prep. While one is cooking you can make a salad and rice…and maybe even get a load of laundry in the washer. (Save the bones and juices to make a broth.) The presentation of a mouth-watering browned roast is always impressive. It looks good and it smells good!
