- Serves:
- Serves 4
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 35 minutes
- Total Time:
- 45 minutes
- Oven Temperature:
- 200° c - 390° f
Step 1: Prepare the spices
- 450 chicken quarters
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cups (250ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp dried shrimp paste
- 4 shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 fresh chilli peppers, deseeded and shredded
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 lemon grass stalk, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 cutting board
- 1 small bowl
- 2 trays or plates
- 1 roasting tray
- 1 wok
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 fork
- 1 spoon
Step 2: Turn on the grill
Turn on the grill to the highest temperature possible, at least two-hundred degrees Celsius.
Step 3: Prepare the chicken
Cut the chicken into eight pieces and make small slits in the skin. Now trickle a little vegetable oil on the pieces and season them with salt, rubbing the salt and oil into the meat lightly.
Step 4: Cook the chicken
Now place the chicken on the roasting tray and grill for twenty to twenty-five minutes, turning the pieces occasionally to ensure that they are cooked on all sides.
Step 5: Cooking the paste
While the chicken is cooking in the grill, heat the remaining oil in the wok. Add the spices and fry on a moderate heat, stirring continuously.
Step 6: Finishing the sauce
Next, add the coconut milk, followed by the bay leaves and lemon grass, and continue to stir. Bring the sauce to a boil and then allow it to simmer for five to ten minutes, allowing the flavours to blend well.
Step 7: Set aside the chicken
Meanwhile, take the chicken out of the oven and set it aside.
Step 8: Finish cooking the chicken
Add the lime juice and the chicken to the sauce and allow it to cook another five to ten minutes, turning the chicken occasionally until it is done.
Step 9: Serve
Set the chicken on a platter along with the sauce. If you like your food hot and spicy, the platter can be garnished with the few shreds of chilli pepper reserved earlier from the sauce.
The dish is traditionally served with rice and Sambal Olek, which is a spicy Indonesian sauce easily obtained at any Asian market.
Tips & Comments
It's called pelecing ayam but the way to serve is rolled back. It should be boiling the chiken first with the spices then roast it with carcoal. Yummy...
"Ayam panggang" actually means a roasted chicken in Indonesian. And the recipe that shown in this video are not the ayam panggang. It looks more like "Ayam opor" with some of the spice missing. But I do really apreciate Videojug.com for trying to introduce Indonesian cuisine.
I am indonesian and this dish is nothing close to ayam panggang.
There are a few mistakes: - It is called 'Ayam Panggang' not 'Ayam Panggam'. - It states it the text version of the recipe that it is a Thai dish, when it is actually an Indonesian dish.
