One medium onion chopped
1 stalk lemon grass finely chopped. (only use inner part of the bottom portion of the lemon grass)
1 Tbs of garlic cloves roughly chopped
2 inches of ginger roughly chopped

3-4Tbs of fish sauce
1/4 cup coconut milk

My Massaman Paste |
Directions:
Pour marinade over chicken and place into a large ziploc bag or glass bowl and a refrigerate 8-24 hours.
Tip: I did not have butcher's twine to tie the legs so I improvised with the long strands of lemongrass to tie the legs instead.
Once the chicken has been fully marinated in the Massaman paste put into roasting pan. Pat excess marinade off the chicken, place the chicken breast side up and dab a lot of butter or margarine on the entire bird. Then season with some salt and black pepper and pour extra marinade over the chicken into baking dish. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or up to 1 3/4 hours. I recommend basting it with the melted butter and marinade every 30 minutes. Allow the roasted chicken to rest 20 minutes before carving. Enjoy.
