Ayam Taliwang
Ayam Taliwang is a popular Indonesian dish that originated from Lombok, a beautiful island in Indonesia. It’s a delicious spicy grilled chicken dish that is known for its rich flavors and aromatic spices. The chicken is marinated with a special blend of spices, such as garlic, chili, turmeric, and shrimp paste, which gives it a unique and delightful taste. Ayam Taliwang is often grilled to perfection and served with plecing kangkung (water spinach) and steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut into pieces
- 5 cloves garlic
- 5 red chili peppers (adjust quantity based on your preferred level of spiciness)
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon shrimp paste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, red chili peppers, turmeric powder, shrimp paste, vegetable oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
- In a large bowl, coat the chicken pieces evenly with the spice paste. Make sure to thoroughly rub the paste into the chicken.
- Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
- While grilling, you can baste the chicken with any remaining marinade to add more flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
