'sinful' yet yummy Ayam Kalasan

hola... how's weekend, everyone? hope u guys have a great weekend ya... last Sat. Mama Rose managed to bake Tiramisu Roulade, recipe referred from Women's Weekly cookbook.

With God's will, I hope I can share most recipes that have been on my stove, in my oven or simply from my humble kitchen. :) However, today's recipe is one of those popular Indonesian fried chicken, Ayam Kalasan. The reason I categorised that as'sinful' simply bcos the coconut ingredient. The ingredient is easily available in the supermarket. The setback is the time taken in preparation. We will know what I mean as we go about with the recipe. Without further ado, here's for you.
