made this at my daughter house. she didnt have a blender, so I just finely chopped everything. used a kilo of skinless drumsticks, and we licked the plate :) very easy dish, can do lots before hand. made for Aussie swap 2012

This is a wonderful chicken dish. I made it with a small, whole chicken that I cut into eight pieces, and that worked just fine. I used candlenuts instead of brazilnuts (I was lucky enough to buy them on a visit to Indonesia), but otherwise followed the recipe. Served with Recipe #322429 and green beans. Thanks so much for posting.
