Chicken Betutu Traditional Food Bali island

Chicken Betutu Traditional Bali Island

The first time I tasted this food when I was drooping to Bali with friends, when I tried it the first time I felt this chicken was very tasty, and I began to be curious about this cooking recipe. I started to find out the recipe and how to cook it to the people of Bali directly. This is the recipe and method of cooking that I got, I have tried it myself with a few changes to satisfy my tongue.

  

Ingredients

That's the recipe I got from the local Balinese community with a few changes to match my tongue. If you think it's less spicy or even too spicy you can increase or decrease the amount of chili in the recipe to suit your taste.
