Food Glossary: Ayam Taliwang

A Nusa Tenggara traditional dish, this spicy marinated chicken is roasted and served with a peanut, tomato, chilli and lime dip.  We sampled the dish on Lombok, where it is typically found.  The marinade is made from a mix of chilli's, onion, garlic, tomatoes, shrimp paste, kempur, (a medicinal plant) sugar and salt.  The chicken is really delicious as the marinade makes it juicy and full of flavour.  To read more check out this blog post I found whilst doing some research.
