It’s the time of year when we all get a little tired of grilling and want to get back in the kitchen and try something new.  This was so easy and delicious.  Feels special enough for a dinner party, but easy enough for a weeknight!

Coconut Curry Braised Chicken

  • 13.5 oz can unsweetened light coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, tough outer layer removed, crushed with a knife
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger
  • 6 cloves of garlic, smashed
  • 4 chicken legs
  • Salt
  • Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
  1. Heat over to 400.
  2. Mix coconut milk, sugar and curry paste in a 3 quart baking dish or approximate. You want to make sure the chicken is almost crowded. Add the lemon grass, ginger and garlic.
  3. Season the chicken lightly with salt (most curry pastes are a little salty, so go light).
  4. Add the chicken to the pan, rolling it over and covering it in the sauce.
  5. Bake, occasionally basting for 60-75 minutes. If the pan gets dry, just add a little water.
  6. Serve chicken with the sauce and coconut and cilantro if using.
