Southern Thai-style Roast Chicken

I adapted this from a number of recipes of fried chicken popular in the South of Thailand. The marinated chicken could alternatively be fried submerged in very hot vegetable oil but I was feeling health-conscious so I decided to roast it in the oven instead. This is traditionally served with aromatic fried shallots (which I also baked), steamed glutinous rice and optionally sweet chili sauce.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean the chicken pieces under running water, prick them all over with a fork so the marinade could better seep in and leave to dry while you make the marinade.
- 2
Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, grind together white and black pepper, coriander seeds and roots, cumin, garlic and shallots.
- 3
Transfer the spice and herb mixture to a large bowl in which the chicken will be marinated, add oyster and soy sauce, salt and sugar and stir them together with a spoon to form a thick paste.
- 4
Add the chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinade in the refrigerator for 3 hours to overnight.
- 5
Preheat oven to 225°C(437°F)
- 6
For extra crispy chicken skin, add the all-purpose flour and limewater to the chicken and toss to coat before baking. You can skip this step.
- 7
Transfer the chicken to the lightly-oiled baking sheet and bake until done, 20-30 minutes.
- 8
In the meantime you could make the fried shallots by slicing raw shallots and tossing them with some sugar, salt, ground white pepper and coriander seeds and all-purpose flour. Deep fry them in hot oil until golden-brown or put on a baking sheet and bake along with the chicken, toss and turn occasionally so they cook evenly.
- 9
Serve the chicken over sticky rice, topped with fried shallots and with sweet chili sauce on the side.
