Ayam kodok ( lit. 'frog chicken' in Indonesian) is an Indonesian stuffed and roasted chicken, commonly served as a holiday staple during Christmas and other special occasions. [1] The dish dates back to the colonial era, likely related to gevulde kip, the Dutch stuffed chicken dish. [1]
Ayam kodok preparation requires deboning a chicken, and then stuffing it with ground chicken meat with beef or pork, spices, vegetables, and hard boiled eggs. [2] The chicken is then optionally steamed before it is roasted. [2]
