Pinadar chicken is chicken cooked in herbs and chicken livers with andaliman as an important spice. Andaliman is a close relative of Sichuan pepper grown in the soil of North Sumatra, Indonesia where the Batak ethnic group living. Batak cuisine is also known for cooking with andaliman pepper.
If you are interested to know more about andaliman, I suggest you to read more at this link where I discuss about it in depth.
Batak cooking, it believes that the process of roasting chickens before actually cooking in spices will bring better flavor to food. For those who do not like spicy food hot, you can always reduce the number of birds eye chillies. This recipe was adapted from a fellow blogger Indonesia, Indonesia Medan Food that I changed a little.
