Steps

30 minutes

1

Cut the 2.2 lbs of chicken into 10 pieces, wash thoroughly with lime juice, and set aside.
2

To make blending easier, roughly chop the turmeric, garlic, candlenuts, and ginger first.
3

Add 1 tbsp coriander to the chopped spices, then blend them with a little water. Once smooth, add the grated 3 1/2 oz galangal, salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, and mushroom broth powder, and mix well.
4

Add the spiced marinade to the chicken and pour in 3 1/3 cups of water (about 800 ml).
5

Add 1 bruised lemongrass stalk, 4 bay leaves, and 4 kaffir lime leaves to the marinated chicken. Cook until the water in the marinade reduces.
6

Once cooked, separate the chicken from the marinade. Fry the marinated chicken until cooked, then remove and drain.
7

To make the serundeng, take the sediment from the marinade and add 1/2 tbsp rice flour, then mix well. Adding rice flour helps keep the serundeng crispy longer.
8

Heat oil and fry the galangal serundeng until golden brown, then drain.
9

To serve, place the drained chicken on a plate and sprinkle the galangal serundeng over the chicken. The fried chicken with galangal serundeng is ready to enjoy.
