One-pot Lemongrass Roasted Chicken and Rice

This is an incredibly low-maintenance dish. It involves one pot (so minimal clearing up) and is a great weeknight meal if you have friends over. If you don’t have time to make the marinade paste, you can sub this for a good-quality shop-bought Thai curry (or other curry) paste and it will still taste wonderful. If you’re making this for kids, you can omit the chilli. I serve it with some simple steamed greens, such as bok choy or tenderstem broccoli.
