Tiger Ah Kooi's Chicken By Tiger Mike

Tigers,

I am naming this recipe Tiger Ah Kooi's Chicken coz he does NOT eat beef, lamb and goat meat ( mutton actually means lamb from an old sheep which have given birth many times, and thus is hard meat to eat). However, he eats chicken, pork and humans (My advice is don't eat a female soldier and leave your false teeth behind, she may not be able to stand to attention at master parade the next morning!!)

Please see and read the attachment.

Ingredients.
1 whole fresh chicken not exceeding 1.3 kg
1 cup of thick santan
5 shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 fresh red cilli, chopped
1 tbsp aniseed powder (jintan manis or yau kok or sombu)
1 tsp cumin powder (jintan puti or chou kok or natchirgam)
5 candle nuts (buah keras or sek kor chye or sathikai)
1 cm turmeric (kunyit or wong keong or kungumaphu)
1 lemon grass
1 tbsp flour
salt to taste

Method
Clean the chicken, and careful not to tear the skin. Knock the serai. Beat up the flour with a little water. Blender onions, garlic, cilli, candle nuts and turmeric until fine.Mix with aniseed and cumin. Mix the whole ingredients with the santan.

Flatten the chicken according to the attachment. Rub the santan mixture under the skin of the chicken carefully. Put some santan on the skin. Place chicken on a grill or BBQ or in the oven for 45 minutes. keep basting it every 15 minutes with the santan mixture.

Serve the chicken with chopped coriander leaves on it. Portion the chicken as per requests of the diners.

Good luck.
