Instructions
-
Make the marinade paste
- Using a larger mortar and pestle, roughly pound all the paste ingredients, except for the vegetable oil, kecap manis and fish sauce. You can also use a food processor for this.
- Transfer the paste into a bowl and add the fish sauce, kecap manis and vegetable oil. Taste the paste to ensure the flavours are well balanced.
-
Marinate the chicken
- Make sure the chicken is dry.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken and set aside for at least 3 hours, or if possible, overnight.
- Reserve a portion of the marinade for basting.
-
Grill the chicken
- Place the chicken, bone side down, over medium heat and grill the chicken whilst continually brushing the chicken with the marinade.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- You can cook the chicken bone side down on the grill for longer, the bones will withstand the heat more than the flesh side. Try to cook through the bone for 60-70% of the cooking time, which will help to prevent too much charring.
-
Make the Coconut Sambal
- Combine the coconut sambal ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
Plate and Serve!
To serve the chicken, chop into smaller pieces. Serve with the coconut sambal and steamed rice.
