Begin by placing the chicken in a spacious bowl and adding the ground spices. Mix well and let the mixture marinate for an hour. Then, set it aside.
Next, transfer the marinated chicken to a large pot. Add water and coconut milk and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the ingredients gently simmer for about 30 minutes until they blend well.
Take the chicken out of the pot and allow it to cool, setting it aside.
In a pan or wok, heat approximately 2 inches of oil. Add the chicken pieces and fry until they turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior. Remember to turn the pieces occasionally to ensure even browning on all sides.
Place the fried chicken on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Then, serve it promptly alongside steamed rice, sambal, and a simple salad. Don't forget to skim any leftover crumbs or crispy bits from the oil and sprinkle them over the chicken as a delightful garnish.
Finally, savor and enjoy your delicious chicken dish!
