Three Friends Thai Roast Chicken

This roast chicken recipe is powered by a classic Thai flavor trio: cilantro root, garlic, and white peppercorn, affectionately known as สามเกลอ or “three friends.” Mashed into an aromatic paste, it forms the base of this marinade. It’s minimal in ingredients but major in flavor, Thai home-cooking at its best.

I adapted this from a number of recipes of fried chicken popular in the South of Thailand. The marinated chicken could alternatively be fried submerged in very hot vegetable oil but I was feeling health-conscious so I decided to roast it in the oven instead. This is traditionally served with aromatic fried shallots (which I also baked), steamed glutinous rice and optionally sweet chili sauce. Christopher Watt -

Roast Chicken Dinner Roast Chicken Dinner
A simple roast chicken with root vegetables. Deeply savory and satisfying. I find that despite the allure of roasting the chicken over the vegetables for a "one pan" meal, cooking them separate gives you the best of both, and lets you reserve the juices from the chicken to make a simple gravy. Trussing taken from chefsteps. I like to serve this with a hearty salad of kale and shaved brussels sprouts with pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and a poppyseed dressing. Lance Wilson -
