Note
Additional Tips: For maximum crispiness, verify chicken pieces don't overlap on the crisping tray. Pat chicken pieces dry before applying rendang paste for better adherence. If the rice seems too wet after cooking, let it stand for an additional 5 minutes with the lid off. The rendang paste can be adjusted according to personal spice preference, and vegetables can be varied based on seasonal availability.
