Balinese Grilled Chicken Recipe (Siap Mepanggang)

By Unknown → Sunday 6 July 2014

This is one of Bali's most traditional dishes and plays an important role in many ceremonies.

Ingredients

2 kg (4lb)chicken pieces, each 400 g (13 ozs)
1 cup chicken spice paste (see recipe)
2½ cups coconut milk
3 to 4 cups chicken stock (see recipe)
4 stalks lemon grass, braised
4 salam leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed

Instruction

Heat a heavy saucepan, add spice paste and sauté for 2 minutes over low heat. Add coconut milk, chicken stock, lemon grass and bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces and simmer until three quarters cooked, turning chicken frequently. 
Remove chicken and let cool in the sauce to room temperature. Remove chicken from sauce and dry well in open airy place for 30 minutes. Grill over charcoal until dark golden brown. Grilled chicken tastes best when served with peanut sauce, steamed rice and vegetables.
