Method

Finely pound the fennel and coriander seeds. Then process the yellow onion, lemongrass and ginger until you have a fine paste. Then mix in the pounded fennel, coriander, turmeric powder, cane sugar, and peanut oil. Mix well and marinate the chicken for at least 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.
