The sweet and charry Ayam Bakar is an Indonesian-style Grilled Chicken that’s spiced with sambal belacan and usually served with rice. We add a garlicky twist to this savoury dish with our Chilli + Garlic Stir Fry Sauce as a marinade.
Chef’s note:
- Serve the chicken grilled with a side of Asian slaw or bake it at 180°C for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Bring out the herby and nutty flavours in your dish with fresh mint, scallions and crushed roasted peanuts for garnish.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of Boombay’s Garlic + Chilli Stir Fry Sauce
