Ayam Bakar
Ayam Bakar is a popular Indonesian and Malaysian dish that consists of grilled or barbecued chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes soy sauce or kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). The marinade typically includes ingredients like garlic, ginger, shallots, turmeric, coriander, and other spices, giving the chicken a delicious and aromatic flavor. Ayam Bakar is often served with rice, sambal (spicy chili paste), and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken pieces (such as thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped onion, grated ginger, soy sauce, kecap manis, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and charred on the outside. Baste with any remaining marinade while grilling.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Ayam Bakar hot with lime wedges and fresh cilantro as garnish. Enjoy!
