Ayam Taliwang is a spicy Indonesian grilled chicken (ayam bakar) dish originating from Taliwang in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

History

Although Ayam Taliwang is said to be a dish favoured by Sasak nobility,^[1] Abdul Hamid claims to have invented the dish in 1970.^[2] It is named after Karang Taliwang in Mataram, the capital of Lombok.^[1]^[2]

Preparation

Ayam Taliwang is made with chicken cut and cleaned prior to grilling. Once it has been grilled halfway, it is removed from the grill and tenderized with a pestle. It is then dipped in cooking oil; after several seconds in the oil, it is put in a spicy sauce of garlic, chili, and shrimp paste. It is then fried or grilled to order.^[2]

Presentation

Ayam Taliwang physically appears similar to regular grilled or fried chicken, with a covering of sambal. Its taste is sweet and spicy, with traces of shrimp paste. It can be served with a side of water spinach (pelecing^[3]) and eggplant (beberuk) covered with chili sauce.^[2]

Variations

The Taliwang flavour has been adapted for instant noodles.^[2]
