Balinese Chicken Wings

Balinese Chicken Wings

On a recent trip to Bali, my Balinese stepmother, Putu, let me help her prepare chicken – and I furiously committed her ‘non-recipe’ to memory to bring home. She has a big mortar and pestle for this kind of thing; I don’t, so I end up using both sides of my meat mallet; you just want to get the ingredients well combined and at least somewhat reduced in mass. And since they’re baked, not deep-fried, they’re a (relatively) healthy pile of wings! I particularly like them with roasted sweet potatoes.
