- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces
- 3.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 package (3.5 oz / 100g) japanese curry roux blocks (such as s&b golden curry, medium heat)

For serving

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. Leave the rendered fat in the pot.
