Ayam bakar is an Indonesian and Malay dish, consisting of charcoal-grilled chicken. Ayam bakar literally means "grilled chicken" in Indonesian and Malay.
Marination and spices
In
Padang, Bali, Lombok, and most of Sumatra are usually spicier and more reddish in colour due to the generous amount of chilli pepper, turmeric
and other spices and the absence of sweet soy sauce.
The chicken pieces are usually partially cooked in the spice mixture using a small fire prior to grilling in order for the chicken to absorb the spices. During grilling process the remaining spices are applied upon the chicken. Ayam bakar is usually served with sambal terasi (chilli with terasi) or sambal kecap (sliced chilli and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato as garnishing.
