Roasted Stuffed Chicken
Kerala-style dry fry where chicken is cooked down until all the moisture evaporates and what remains is intensely flavoured, slightly caramelised, and impossibly moreish. Best with parotta or plain rice.

Step 6
Stuff it with the egg - onion mixture. Place small pieces of butter into slits made on the chicken.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 220 ° C, bake the chicken for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Then reduce the temperature to 180 ° C and turn the chicken over so breast side is now up. Bake again for 30 - 35 minutes more. Serve hot.
Tip
The final handful of curry leaves should go in right at the end, off the heat — they should crackle and crisp in the residual heat.
