“Grilled chicken marinated in coconut milk and aromatic herbs, then charcoal-grilled to perfection for a sweet, smoky, and deeply flavorful taste.”

Chicken thighs grilled in a marinade of lemongrass, garlic, chives, ginger, sesame oil, Thai sweet chili sauce and sambal oelek. Very tasty!

Nice, smoky flavor and it wasn’t too dry. 👍

Charcoal grilled chicken. Smokin’!

Full-on charred flavor with the chicken. Potato wedges were good.

Tender, tasty grilled chicken with an insanely flavorful dip.

Grilled boneless chicken leg marinated in 7 different spices. This was excellent too.

Grilled “Kampung” Chicken. Not bad.

Smokin'

Their signature dish. It’s not bad, but certainly not worth returning for at $30.

A bunch of their chicken dishes had sold out, and this seemed the most interesting of what was left. Flavorful and complemented with the separate order of Sambal Cibiuk Merah.

“Barbecued chicken served in a mildly spicy thick coconut milk gravy.” Highly recommended by the uncle at Pariaman. He says it’s very popular.

Never marinated chicken with 7Up before but now I have. 🥤🍗

So, the first and the last time I had Ayam Percik was almost 8(!!!) years ago in Langkawi and it was unforgettable. That may be no more now that I’ve attempted it in the kitchen. Or maybe not? Kudos to the chef at Bonton is all I have to say. Also, does anyone see the face of a cria or a lamb on the gravy-basted chicken?
