Instructions

Clean and cut the chicken into pieces as desired.
Grind the garlic, candlenuts/ Kemiri, and galangal into a paste.
Put the chicken pieces in a cooking pan.
Add in all the spices and the herbs. Give a stir until all the pieces are coated with spices.
Put the lid on and turn to high-medium for about 5 minutes until you hear the sound of cooking. Then turn the heat to low to cook further for about 30 minutes.
Keep checking and stirring the chicken every now and again, you don’t want it to burn at the bottom. I do it about 2-3 times until the poultry is cooked.
Heat the cooking oil in a wok or a deep frying pan.
Fry the chicken pieces until lightly golden.
Enjoy.

Notes

If you can not get hold of Kemiri (Candlenuts), you can use Macadamia nuts. And if you can’t get either of them, you can skip altogether.
Salam leaf has a unique fragrant that I don’t recommend to substitute it with any other herb. If you can’t get Salam leaf, you may just want to leave it and cook your chicken without it.
