Hi, Beachlover, this is a very authentic chicken dish...looks so appetizing. It's a good idea to wrap the banana leaves around the chicken before baking, cos, my chicken always end up with burnt edges. I can only find frozen banana leaves, that will do, right?

I did lemongrass pork chop sometime ago...
The lemongrass gave it such a unique kick :)
I really like the smell of banana leaves especially when use it in grilling. I can't wait to crank up our BBQ grill.
