Alejandra's Favourite Chicken
This recipe takes a grand total of 5 minutes to prepare and is finished in less than an hour. In the era when we were caterers, we made this for the kitchen staff often to the great pleasure of Alejandra, our pastry chef.
Found here are typical Bumbu spices, without the work of finely grinding the spices. We used duck wings just to take the photo and, unsurprisingly, they were delicious!
Serve with white rice.
