  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Add the Thai red curry paste to the pot with the onions, stirring well to combine and cook for about 2 minutes.

  5. Carefully nestle the chicken thighs or drumsticks into the pot and sprinkle in salt.
  6. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to your preheated oven. Bake for about 1 hour.
  7. After the chicken has cooked through, remove the pot from the oven and stir in the fresh spinach.
