RECIPE COLLECTION FROM DELICIOUS. ON SUNDAYS

MAKES: 4

WHAT'S IN IT?

1⁄2 cup (125ml) kecap manis

1 tbs sambal oelek, plus extra to serve

1 tsp ground turmeric

8 chicken drumsticks

1 butter lettuce, leaves separated

1 cucumber, sliced

1 lime, cut into wedges

1⁄4 bunch coriander

2 tbs roasted peanuts, chopped

Coconut rice

2 cups (400g) long-grain rice, rinsed

3⁄4 cup (180ml) coconut milk

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Combine kecap manis, sambal oelek and turmeric in a bowl, add drumsticks and turn to coat. Place in a shallow dish to marinate for 20 minutes, or longer if time allows, turning once. Place on a wire rack in prepared tray, pour half the marinade over and roast for 35-40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with remaining marinade, until cooked through and well browned. Loosely cover with foil to rest for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, for coconut rice, place rice, coconut milk and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stand for 10 minutes without uncovering. Fluff up with a fork.

3. Divide rice and chicken among 4 plates along with lettuce, cucumber and lime wedges, scatter with coriander and peanuts, and serve with extra sambal oelek.
