Indonesian Spicy Roast Chicken

A week ago, PiggBeng purchased a few recipes book from Popular Bookshop as they are having year end sale now. Most of these recipes books get a 20% off if you are a member. They were a good buy I must say.

For this dish, I did not prepare it, instead my dear hubby took over the wok this time. This is the first dish he tried from this 'Mama Recipes' book. There are quite a good mixture of recipes found inside the book and hopefully I get to share them with all of you here...
