Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. /4 cup plus 1 tablespoon garam masala (see Note)
  2. Tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. Two 3 1/2-pound chickens
  4. Salt
  5. Cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  6. Garlic cloves
  7. Teaspoon tamarind paste (see Note)
  8. Dried Black Mission figs, stemmed and quartered
  9. /4 cup honey
  10. Freshly ground pepper
  11. Preheat the oven to 450°. In a small bowl, mix the garam masala with the oil. In a roasting pan, rub the chickens all over with the garam masala oil and season with salt. Roast the chickens for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° and continue roasting for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting twice. Return the oven temperature to 450° and crisp. Transfer the chickens to a carving board and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
  12. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the chicken stock with the garlic and tamarind paste and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the garlic is very soft, about 40 minutes. Strain the stock through a coarse sieve and press the garlic through. Stir in the figs and honey, cover and let steep until the figs are tender, about 10 minutes.
  13. Carve the chicken. Reheat the fig jus, season with salt and pepper and serve with the chicken.
