How to Make Ayam Bali With Chicken Legs
- Combine onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, peanuts, and dark soy sauce in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Remove the skin from the chicken legs.
- Marinate the chicken legs in the spice paste for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) in the refrigerator.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken legs to the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until evenly browned on all sides.
- Remove the chicken legs from the pan and set aside, keeping warm.
- Add the remaining spice paste to the frying pan and stir-fry for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, palm sugar, kecap manis, turmeric, and coriander. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken legs to the pan. Baste them thoroughly with the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Uncover during the last 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite sides.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
