Ayam Bakar Madu (Sweet Honey Grilled Chicken)

Elevate your dinner with this delightful Ayam Bakar Madu, a sweet and savory grilled chicken dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare. Perfect for a satisfying meal, this recipe combines tender chicken with a harmonious blend of sweet honey and rich seasonings. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 500 grams chicken (cut into pieces)
• For the marinade:
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Tropicana Slim sweet soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 200 ml water
  • 1 tablespoon margarine (for grilling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Begin by washing the chicken pieces thoroughly. Place them in a pot or bowl.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, Tropicana Slim sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, and water. Stir well to create a uniform marinade.
   • Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

3. Simmer the Chicken:

   • Transfer the marinated chicken and marinade into a pot. Cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces and thickens slightly, and the chicken is cooked through. The sauce should be reduced to a glaze, and the chicken should be tender. This step helps infuse the flavors into the chicken.

4. Grill the Chicken:

   • Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over low heat. Once hot, brush the surface lightly with margarine to prevent sticking.
   • Place the cooked chicken pieces on the pan, grilling each side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even grilling and a beautiful caramelized color.

5. Serve:

   • Once the chicken is perfectly grilled and has developed a beautiful, golden-brown color, remove it from the pan. Serve it hot, ideally accompanied by sambal terasi (a spicy shrimp paste sauce) for an authentic touch.

Enjoy your Ayam Bakar Madu with a side of steamed rice or fresh vegetables. This dish pairs wonderfully with a tangy sambal terasi for an extra burst of flavor. Bon appétit!
