Tender Chicken Drumettes Curry with Fresh Baby Green Salad
Baek Jong-won’s Recipe Twist! Chicken Drumettes Curry & Side Salad
Inspired by Baek Jong-won’s home cooking recipes, I’ve swapped the usual pork neck for our family’s favorite chicken drumettes to create this exceptionally delicious curry. The drumettes are tender on the inside and beautifully browned on the outside, perfectly complementing the hearty vegetables for a dish the whole family will rave about! Serving it with a fresh baby green salad elevates the meal into a delightful feast. Try this special weekend treat from Neogul’s kitchen!
Curry Ingredients- 10 chicken drumettes
- 1 large onion, chopped coarsely
- 1/2 carrot
- 2 potatoes
- 2 bell peppers (use various colors)
Curry Seasoning & Spices- Curry powder (half spicy, half mild) – use solid curry blocks
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk (for tenderizing and deodorizing chicken)
- Curry powder (half spicy, half mild) – use solid curry blocks
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk (for tenderizing and deodorizing chicken)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To tenderize the chicken and remove any gamey odors, soak the 10 chicken drumettes in 1 cup of milk for about 15-20 minutes. Afterward, rinse them thoroughly, pat dry, and season evenly with salt and black pepper. This step is crucial for enhancing the curry’s overall flavor.
Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken drumettes and sauté until the outside is golden brown and slightly charred-looking, about 5-7 minutes. A slight char adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 3
In the same pan used for the drumettes, add the coarsely chopped onion, potatoes, and carrots. Sauté these vegetables until they begin to soften. As they cook with the residual chicken drippings, they’ll absorb the drumettes’ flavor, making the curry even richer.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are slightly cooked, pour in 500ml (about 2 cups) of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the curry powder. I like to mix half spicy and half mild curry for a balanced flavor that appeals to both adults and children. Using solid curry blocks is convenient as they don’t create dust and are easy to store.
Step 5
Stir the curry well to dissolve any clumps. Simmer over medium-low heat until the curry thickens and releases its fragrant aroma. Finally, add the colorful bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Your delicious chicken drumette curry is now ready!
Step 6
This chicken drumette curry is packed with the savory flavor of chicken broth and features incredibly tender drumettes that kids absolutely love. Serve the hearty curry in bowls, and for a complete meal, toss fresh baby greens with a drizzle of oriental dressing. Enjoy this satisfying weekend meal, made with love by Neogul!
