AYAM GOLEK MADU (ROAST HONEY CHICKEN)

What I love about this "ayam golek madu" is the "juice" from the marination. The taste of the lemon grass with other ingredients is just finger licking good.

3cm ginger
3 sp of honey
3sp sugar

2 sp of oil

STEPS:
Steam the chicken till it's half cooked.
Blend all the ingredients for the marination.
Pour it over the chicken and marinate for one hour.

Cook in an oven till the color turns darker.

Tips:
How to know the right amount of water when cooking a rice in a rice cooker?

I used my mom's old method.

Measure the rice with your finger.

Then put your finger on top of the rice.

The water level(coconut milk + water) must be the same as the level of the rice.
