Chicken with Balinese Spices Recipe

Chicken with Balinese Spices Recipe, Balinese Food, Chicken Recipe from Bali

I'm sure most people in the world know about Bali, the scenery - the people. But how about Balinese food? I've always enjoy Bali and I've always enjoy delicious spicy food. Lucky for me, I can have both my pleasures in one plate. Balinese spices chicken.

Let me share the recipe for Chicken with Balinese spices. As this is Indonesian food, we use many different spices. For those who love hot spicy food like me, feel free to add more chili peppers.

Ingredients:

• 1/2-cup peeled shallots 
• 1/4-cup peeled garlic 
• 2 Tbs. fresh turmeric 
• 2 Tbs. fresh peeled ginger 
• 2 Tbs. galangal 
• 2 Tbs. wild ginger 
• 3 whole Kemiri (candlenuts) 
• 2 Tbs. Balinese thousand spice 
• 2 Tbs. fresh hot chili peppers, seeded and cleaned 
• 4 Tbs. shrimp paste 
• 2 Tbs. nut mix 
• 1/4-cup coconut oil

Grind all the ingredients together and then sauté paste in coconut oil.

For the chicken to get the exact taste, you have to use chickens from Bali. Just kidding, any chicken will do.

Have:

4 lbs. fresh chicken Spices (from ingredients above) banana leaves (or greased parchment paper and tin foil) 3 salam leaves (you can use bay leaves as substitute) salt and pepper Tamarind water

First, give the chicken a nice massage with the spices ingredients. Then season it with salt and paper and tamarind water. The tamarind water is to soften the chicken. Then wrapped the chicken with banana leaves or use greased parchment paper and then foil it. Put the chicken to grill for 30 minutes.

And you have nice hot spicy chicken, Balinese style. For maximum enjoyment, serve it with still hot rice.
