Ayam Betutu is intensely aromatic chicken perfumed with lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal, and turmeric, wrapped in banana leaf so the meat steams in its own spiced juices. This faster version still delivers the dish's signature richness, with savory cassava leaf stuffing and a warm, complex spice profile.

This roast chicken is deeply golden, crisp-skinned, and fragrant with thyme, rosemary, garlic, and lemon. Butter under the skin keeps the breast juicy while the cavity aromatics and quick pan jus create a richly savoury, classic French finish.
