Slow-Roast Coconut and Lemongrass Chicken

I stumbled on this gorgeous roast chicken in a buzzy food market in Kuala Lumpur where it whirled around on a rotisserie until shiny and lacquered like an old antique. The stallholder served it on top of fragrant rice with a drizzle of soy chilli sauce and cucumbers. I decided to have a stab at recreating it at home. Baby chickens work best as the meat doesn’t dry out.
