ROASTED CURRY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH YOGURT CUMIN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small, dry, heavy skillet over moderate heat, toast the cumin seeds until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Finely grind in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Mash the garlic to a paste and transfer half the garlic to a medium bowl. Whisk in the curry paste, 1 cup yogurt and half the cumin. Transfer the chicken to a plastic re-sealable bag and pour the yogurt mixture into the bag, making sure all the chicken is covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.

• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 cup yogurt and the remaining garlic and cumin. Serve a dollop of sauce on top of the chicken.
• What really makes this recipe sing: Toasting and grinding your own spices here, makes all the difference in the world. If you don't remember when you bought that jar of cumin, then you should throw it out and start fresh.

ROASTED RED CURRY CHICKEN WITH APPLE JUS

Steps:

• Make chicken:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Mix oil and curry paste in small bowl. Rinse chickens; pat dry. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place apple, garlic, cilantro and mint in cavities of chickens, dividing equally. Rub curry mixture over chickens. Tie legs together.
• Place chickens in large roasting pan. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, basting occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer chickens to platter. Tent with foil.
• Prepare jus:
• Shake mustard seeds in medium skillet over low heat until color darkens and seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer mustard seeds to medium bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots, thyme and brown sugar to skillet and sauté until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, apple juice, wine and cinnamon sticks. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Strain into medium saucepan. Bring jus to simmer.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH JUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and fold the wing tips under the back. Put the carrot, onion, celery, neck, and heart, if using, in the center of a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate the chicken. (Discard the liver or reserve for another recipe.) Season the butter with salt and pepper and brush the entire chicken with it. Set the bird breast-side up on top of the vegetables.
• Roast the chicken for 45 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 425 degrees F., cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the chicken thigh registers 160 to 170 degrees F., about 15 minutes more. Tip the chicken so the juices run into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil while making the jus.
• To make the jus: Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain the vegetables, giblets, if using, and pan juices into the strainer. Shake the strainer to get more juices into the bowl. Set strainer aside. Skim most of the fat from the surface of the liquid with a spoon, or alternately, use a degreasing cup. Reserve the pan juices.
• Place the roasting pan directly on a burner set at medium-high. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen all the browned bits that cling to the pan. Add the reserved pan juices, increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until slightly thickened. Return the reserved vegetables to the sauce, if desired, or carefully strain jus through a fine sieve into a serving bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Carve the chicken and serve with the jus.
