Ingredients
  • ⅔ cups coconut milk
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons palm sugar
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, peeled and sliced
  • 2 green chiles, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 2 carrots, sliced lengthways
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • drizzle of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup green beans
Directions
  1. In a blender, add the coconut milk, garlic, palm sugar, lime zest and juice, fish sauce, lemongrass, chiles, cumin, and turmeric. Blend until a smooth paste.
  2. Put the chicken in a dish, and cover with the marinade. Leave to marinate for at least an hour or even overnight.
  3. Once you're ready to roast the chicken, preheat the oven to 300 F.
  4. Get a large roasting pan, put the baby potatoes and carrots in and season with salt and pepper. Then drizzle with oil. Get the chicken, place it on top of the vegetables and pour in any remaining marinade.
  5. Place the pan in the oven, and roast for 50 minutes, then take it out and turn the vegetables and add the green beans. Put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. It should be golden and the juices from inside the thigh run clear.
  6. Slice the chicken into pieces, and serve with the vegetables and sauce.
