Indonesian Chicken in Galangal-Tomato Sauce image

A spicy-sweet chicken dish that has a very unique flavor from the galangal root. Galangal can be hard to find, so ginger makes a decent substitute. The dish will taste different though, and the peppery-pine flavor of the galangal is what really makes the chicken taste special.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted them with bell peppers. It turned out great!

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is incredibly flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of galangal, so I substituted ginger instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too watery. Not sure what I did wrong.
