Whole grilled chicken with sweet soy sauce and aromatic spices.
About Bakakak Hayam
Hypermart identifies ayam bakakak with West Java's whole-chicken cooking and special-occasion meals. Its published sweet-spiced rendition keeps the opened chicken intact, first cooking it with aromatics before finishing it on a grill.
Sweet soy sauce and palm sugar give the seasoning its sweetness. Garlic, shallots, turmeric, ginger, coriander and roasted candlenuts form the aromatic mixture, with large red chillies adding another layer of flavour.
The remaining cooking seasoning coats the chicken during grilling. The whole bird is presented with spicy sambal and lalapan vegetables, the accompaniments prescribed for this recipe.
