Open the chicken legs at the joints and rub them with half the salt.
Puree the red hot peppers, onion, garlic, shrimp paste, brown sugar, and remaining salt.
Saute the chili sauce in vegetable oil for 6 minutes, until its aroma opens up.
Add the coconut milk and lime juice, then reduce the sauce for 5 minutes.
Half-cook the chicken on a grill or cast-iron pan for 16 minutes.
Coat the chicken with the sauce, return it to the grill, and cook for 12 more minutes.
Rest the ayam taliwang for 5 minutes and serve with the remaining sauce.
💡 Tip: Use only a little shrimp paste; if you cannot find it in Turkey, 1 teaspoon of salty anchovy paste gives the same marine aroma better than fish sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ayam taliwang with plain rice, optional cucumber, and roasted eggplant salad to balance the heat.
