Indonesian Grilled Chicken Recipe

Indonesian Grilled Chicken

Total Time: 40 minute without prep

Serves: 2

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
  • 6 pieces of Chicken Leg
  • 1 tablespoon of Soy Sauce
