Receta Pandan Chicken
The first time I had this was in Malaysia, it was in a restaurant near my work. At first I was wondering what was that thing wrapped in leaves and a colleague told me that those are fried chicken wrapped in pandan leaves. I immediately ordered some and got hooked, first because it was a fried chicken and second is because of the pandan leaves that gives that distinct vanilla like aroma.
Pandan Chicken is a Thai Style where tender chicken pieces are wrapped and cooked in pandan leaves, usually served with a dipping sauce made out of lightly flavoured soy sauce or fish sauce. Making it here in New Zealand is quite challenging as I never had seen any fresh pandan leaves and the available ones are the frozen ones that are pre-cut. Having said that the size of the leaf from the frozen ones are only 4 to 5 inch in length making it impossible to wrap a chicken nibble so in this post we just roll it in two pieces of leaf and securing it with a skewer which gives it a similar result but different in presentation.
