Yes, curry and chicken are a delcious duo. Introduce this combo to your children. Curry adds a faint flavor to the roast, as do the red pepper flakes – so subtle that no one may be able to identify them, but just enough to lift the flavor of chicken. 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 – it smells good. Consequenly, your family and friends then know it will be absolutely delicious. Furthermore, everybody is happy, whether they are a dark or white meat fan!
