Straits Chinese Nyonya Chicken
'inche kabin' is the inspiration for this oven roasted chicken. Inche kabin, a favourite pre-marinated chicken dish among the babas and nonyas of straits settlements in old malaya (now malaysia), is traditionally double fried. This version would suit those who prefer not to deep-fry in their kitchens. (you may use pieces of a whole chicken if you wish.)
Steps
Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius.
Rub the chicken pieces with salt.
Mix all the spices , sugar and dried coconut milk together.
Rub the chicken pieces with the spice mix.

Space out chicken pieces in a pan lined with foil or baking paper.
Bake for 40-50 minutes , until chicken is golden brown.
Serve while still warm -- with rice and a side dish of stir-fried vegetables or salad.
