CURRY FRIED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
These crispy chicken thighs seasoned with a tangy yogurt curry sauce get coated with rice cereal for extra crunch. A common technique in India, marinating with yogurt tenderizes more gently and evenly and adds extra moisture to meats.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix 1/4 cup yogurt, the garlic, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the cayenne in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat; set aside.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse the cereal in a food processor until finely ground; season with salt, black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
- Heat 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Press the chicken into the cereal, turning to coat. Add half of the chicken to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Mix the ketchup with the steak sauce and cilantro. Split open the sweet potatoes; top with the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and season with salt and black pepper. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and ketchup; top with more cilantro.
