   • Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly and drain them well.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a blender, combine the fresh turmeric, 2 pieces of galangal, 5 shallots, and 8 cloves of garlic. Blend until smooth.
   • Apply this blended mixture to the chicken pieces. Squeeze the lime juice over the chicken and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for a few minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

3. Prepare the Spice Paste:

   • Boil the green chili, remaining galangal, ginger, garlic, shallots, and candlenuts until aromatic. Drain the mixture after boiling.
   • Blend the boiled ingredients until smooth.

4. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a pan. Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade and enough water to cover the chicken. Cook until the water evaporates and the chicken is tender. The liquid should reduce until it’s almost dry.

5. Fry the Chicken:

   • Once the chicken is cooked and has a reduced sauce, remove it from the pan and let it cool slightly.

   • Heat more oil in a separate pan and fry the chicken pieces until golden brown. Remove and drain excess oil.

6. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In the same pan used for frying, sauté the garlic and shallots until fragrant.
   • Add the blended spice paste and cook until aromatic. Add a bit of water if necessary.
   • Season with salt and chicken powder (or MSG if using). Stir until the seasoning is well incorporated.

7. Combine and Serve:

   • Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce, stirring gently to coat the chicken with the sauce.
   • Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld together.

8. Final Touches:

   • Remove from heat and serve the Ayam Goreng Cabe Hijau Rasa Jahe hot, garnished with extra fried shallots or herbs if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and spicy chicken dish!
