Malaysian-style chicken

Method

1. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until the skin is crisp and golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Whizz the onion, garlic cloves, chillies, lemongrass, ginger and a good glug of groundnut oil. Fry this paste in the pan over a medium heat for 2 minutes, add the turmeric, cinnamon stick, star anise and kaffir lime leaves, then fry for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the coconut milk and chicken stock, sit the chicken thighs in the pan, skin-side up, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is just cooked and the sauce has reduced. Add the sugar and a dash of fish sauce. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
