Ayam Betutu

 


Here's a simple recipe for making Betutu Chicken at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg)
  • Banana leaves (for wrapping)
  • 5 shallots, peeled
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled
  • 2-inch piece of galangal, peeled
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 3-5 red chili peppers (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons shrimp paste (terasi)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Clean the chicken thoroughly, removing any excess fat and giblets. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Make deep cuts in the chicken, especially in the thicker parts, to allow the marinade to penetrate.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, red chili peppers, shrimp paste, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground black pepper, tamarind paste, vegetable oil, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
  4. Rub the spice paste all over the chicken, making sure to coat it thoroughly, including inside the cuts. You can also stuff some of the paste into the cavity of the chicken.
  5. Wrap the chicken in banana leaves, making sure it's well-covered. You can use toothpicks to secure the banana leaves if needed.
  6. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  8. Place the wrapped chicken on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. You can also grill the chicken over charcoal for a smokier flavor.
  9. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before unwrapping.
  10. Serve the Betutu Chicken hot with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.

Enjoy your homemade Betutu Chicken! Adjust the level of spiciness according to your preference by adding more or fewer chili peppers.
