This post may contain affiliate links. Please read the disclosure policies for details.
Ayam Panggang refers to these Indonesian oven-roasted chicken wings. The wings have a rich, savory flavor balanced with sweet and spicy notes from sweet soy sauce and sambal chili paste.
Ayam means Chicken in Indonesian, and Panggang translates to roasted or grilled. In this dish, chicken wings are marinated with a blend of Asian spices, then roasted to perfection. The roasting gives the wings a slightly crispy exterior while basting keeps the meat tender and juicy inside.
You can adjust the level of heat by adding more or less sambal chili paste depending on your spice preference. For a sweeter flavor, add more kecap manis. Other variations include adding ginger or lemongrass for additional layers of flavor.
Ayam Panggang is typically enjoyed as a side dish served with steamed rice, and a vegetable side like stir-fried spinach or other greens. It’s also popular as an appetizer. Their small, shareable size and bold flavors make them perfect as a starter or finger food snack at parties.
