1.Using kitchen scissors, cut along each side of chicken backbone. Discard backbone. Rinse chickens under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Using the palm of your hand, flatten each chicken by pressing on the breastbone. Place chickens in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with ketjap manis.

2.In a food processor or blender, process 2 tablespoons of the satay sauce, chillies, garlic, ginger and 1/4 cup hot water, until smooth. Pour over chickens; turn to coat evenly. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill 2 hours to marinate.

3.Preheat barbecue grill to moderately high. Cook chicken 30 minutes, turning and basting occasionally, until cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Cover with foil; rest 5 minutes

4.In a medium bowl, soak noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes; stir to separate strands. Drain.

5.Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat surface. Add carrot and capsicum; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add cabbage, noodles, remaining satay sauce and extra ketjap manis; toss until heated.

6.Using kitchen scissors, cut each chicken into 6 pieces. Serve noodles topped with chicken and coriander.
