Steps

  • Mix turmeric, cumin, and water into a paste then rub over the chicken and chill overnight.
  • Pulse peanuts in a processor and blend lemongrass, galangal, and garlic into a fine paste.
  • Combine the paste with coconut milk, ketjap manis, chilli flakes, lime zest, and peanuts, then chill overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 120°C.
  • Place chicken in a tray, cover with marinade, and roast for two hours while basting occasionally.
  • Increase oven temperature to 200°C and roast for another 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the oven, baste again, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Blend peppers, chillies, garlic, sugar, and vinegar into a rough purée for the dip.
  • Boil the purée for three minutes, whisk in cornflour until thick, and add lime juice, salt, and chilli flakes.
  • Combine spring onions, peanuts, green chillies, cucumber, and coriander in a bowl for the salad.
  • Whisk honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice together and toss with the salad.
  • Serve the roasted chicken with the chilli dip and salad.
