Instructions

Marinate the chicken
- In a blender, add garlic, galangal, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, 6 shallots, lime leaves, candlenuts, tamarind juice, coriander seeds and butter. Blend until the ingredients come together into a rough paste. Season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste.

- Add 3 Tbsp kecap manis to the remaining mixture and use a brush to spread over the chicken while it is grilling to baste.

Make the sambal
