Balinese Chicken Ayam Bumbu Bali

Bali is world famous for being a paradise island. With a completely different culture
and atmosphere than the rest of Indonesia, Bali also has its unique brand of Indonesian
cuisine. This grilled chicken dish is extremely popular around the country with its
glaze of traditional Balinese sauce. This quintessential Balinese sauce has become so
widely popular and well known that variations of Balinese Chicken have arisen,
substituting pork, fish, and vegetables for the chicken. If you have a grill, then you can
barbeque the chicken with the sauce as the Balinese do to get the original smoky

flavors. This recipe can be used for either outdoor grills or oven roasting.
