How to Make Ayam Bakar Airfryer (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Ayam Bakar Airfryer is a modern twist on the beloved Malaysian grilled chicken, offering the authentic smoky flavors without excess oil. Originating from Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, this dish is influenced by Indonesian grilling techniques, yet celebrates uniquely local ingredients like lemongrass (serai), turmeric, and pandan. Traditionally, ayam bakar is prepared over charcoal, but airfryer technology makes it accessible and health-conscious, preserving its aromatic spice profile. In Malaysia, Ayam Bakar is a staple at festive gatherings and family meals, often served with fragrant nasi impit or fresh salads. The airfryer method ensures a crisp, caramelized exterior while keeping the chicken succulent inside—perfect for those seeking a lighter, lower-fat meal.
