Grilled Pandan Chicken

Rated : Absolutely yum-in-the-tum!

DSCN0076

This is the original name. But because I've tweaked it so much, it's no longer the actual grilled pandan chicken. Think I'll only do the real grilled pandan chicken, if I ever get a BBQ grill..if not, why grill when you can bake?

The original recipe..with my tweaks in italic.

600gm deboned chicken thigh (cut into 7 x 5 cm pieces)

Pound /blend together
1 clove garlic 5-6 cloves
2 shallot 8 shallots
4cm piece fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped coriander root
2 stalks lemon grass
2 sprigs coriander leaves
2 inch turmeric
2 cm galangal/blue ginger
10 dried chillies
4-5 candlenuts

Seasoning
5 tsp sweet chilli sauce
10 tsp Worcestershire sauce
5 tsp grated palm sugar/gula melaka
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp grd coriander

1/2 coconut, grated and squeezed for 115ml(2/3 cup) first milk
pandan leaves, softened by scalding.

Method.
1. Mix well the pounded/blended items with seasoning and milk.
2. Marinate the chicken well for min 2 hours. Overnight for the tender-est chicken
3. Wrap each piece of chicken with pandan leaves
4. Grill over charcoal fire for 10 min till fragrant and cooked. I baked in an oven 220c for min 35minutes.

Smell it and eat!
