Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken legs
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 pieces shallots
- 2 pieces red chili
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a blender, add the fresh ginger, garlic cloves, shallots, and red chili. Blend until smooth to create a spice paste.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the spice paste with coconut aminos, lime juice, turmeric powder, coriander powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken legs to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor absorption.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush with coconut oil on both sides.
Step 6
Place the chicken on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 15-20 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
Step 7
While grilling, occasionally baste the chicken with any remaining marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Ayam Bakar with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
