Chicken Rendang Recipe (Resepi Rendang Ayam)

Chicken Rendang, or Rendang Ayam, is a popular Malaysian dish, a traditional Malay chicken dish. Rendang is also found in other Asian countries, with Indonesia being one of them. There are various types of rendang recipes, but all feature herbs and spices. It can be an easy rendang recipe or a more elaborate one if you prefer to use more ingredients than what is generally featured. Yet, one of the must-use ingredients is pan-roasted and pounded fresh grated coconut, which in Malaysia is known as kerisik. Kerisik is easily available, which actually saves you time in making it at home.
