Instrucciones

Follow these 3 steps to prepare this dish. Each step includes detailed instructions for best results.

1. Prepare and season

  1. Wash the carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, and limes. Cut the carrot into 1 cm pieces, pepper into 2 cm pieces, and broccoli into small florets; mince the garlic. Zest both limes, then juice them and reserve the squeezed halves for wedges.
  2. Heat the oven to 220°C, with a rack in the center.
  3. In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice and zest, curry powder, and half the minced garlic until smooth.

2. Roast the chicken and vegetables

  1. Put the chicken legs in the baking dish. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper to taste, and the remaining minced garlic; turn to coat. Brush or spoon about half the glaze over the chicken, reserving the rest for vegetables.
  2. Roast the chicken uncovered at 220°C for 30 minutes. Spoon pan juices over the pieces once around the halfway point if convenient.
  3. Toss the carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, and thawed edamame with the remaining glaze. Spread around the chicken during the final 18 minutes of roasting; if the dish is crowded, use a second baking dish. Use a clean utensil and keep the raw-chicken glaze separate from cooked food.
  4. Check the thickest thigh without touching bone with an instant-read thermometer. If it is below 74°C, continue roasting and check again after 4 minutes; chicken must reach 74°C before serving.

3. Cook the rice and serve

  1. Rinse the rice under cool water until it runs mostly clear and drain. Put the rice, water, and curry powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low, and cook 12 minutes; turn off the heat and leave covered 5 minutes, or follow the rice package timing if different.
  2. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest it for 5 minutes; stir the vegetables through the pan juices.
  3. Fluff the rice and divide among four plates. Add chicken and vegetables, spoon over pan juices, and serve with the reserved lime wedges.
