This spicy Indonesian food is originally from Manado, North Sulawesi. While the Indonesians would usually grill the chicken using charcoal fire, this recipe is using oven.
To Blend (paste)
13 curly type chilies (obviously I used regular chilies as I couldn’t find curly chilies in Canada, but if you’re in Indonesia and have access to them, please use curly chilies 🙂
7 garlic
4 shallots
2 cm ginger
1/2 teaspoon Terasi (Indonesian hard shrimp paste)/Belachan
1 lemon grass
3-4 lime kaffir lime leaves
salt, sugar and MSG (if desired) to taste
Spread evenly the fresh lime juice and a bit of salt all over the chicken, leave it for 30 minutes.
Cut the chicken into 5-8 portions; wash clean then grill the chicken for about 15 minutes only.
Using a blender or mortar, mix well the “To Blend” ingredients.
Saute the blended ingredients until it produces nice scent, then add tomato, water, salt, then the chicken. Cook until all ingredients absorbed into the chicken meat.
Grill chicken in the oven again until well done and turn to golden brown color. (150 C)
Note:
Add in more chili into the blender if you wish hotter taste.
When you can not find broiler chicken, you can use chicken pieces, no need to be whole chicken, you can buy only thighs, breasts with bones, and such.
