The different between the 1st recipe and 2nd recipe

Type of Ingredients
I found that the both recipes have some different in their ingredients. The first recipe is using chilli pepper instead of dried chilies, but both chillies have to be deseeded. Chilli peppers have a distinct heat and sweetness while dried chillies carries a full-bodied, with varying degrees of smokiness. Therefore, the taste of the two different recipe will be different. The first recipe did not teach us to use kaffir lime leaves but the second recipe did. Kaffir lime leaves can bring citrus taste to the chicken.

Time Constraints

The cooking time for the first recipe is only 45 minutes and the cooking time for the second recipe will take up to 7hours. This is because the first recipe do not require the chicken to be shove in fridge for 4 to 6 hours. The second recipe suggests us to leave the chicken in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours or even overnight to allow the chicken to absorb the marinade paste.

Method of cooking

The step of cooking the ayam panggang is also different. The first recipe teach us to cook the chicken first, then add the spices into it while the chicken is cooking in the grill. The second recipe teach us to cook the spices first, then rub the chicken with the spices and then only we roast the chicken.

The degree of details

The 2nd recipe provides a more detailed recipe compared to the 1st recipe. The 1st recipe only teach us the step without providing any reason and elaboration. The 2nd recipe provides reason on why we have to do follow the steps which will help to increase our cooking knowledge. For example, it states that a good balance will give a nice pungent flavour at the beginning, finishing off with a hint of caramelly sweetness at the end and the sugar in this marinade will give the chicken a nice colour. So, when we want to give the chicken a nice colour we can rub the chicken with marinade sugar. Moreover, it also give tips on cooking which will help to improve your cooking skills, such as pouring half a cup of water onto the tray to prevent scorching.

Taste of Ayam Panggang

The taste of ayam panggang that is made by following the 2nd recipe will have extra tasty grilled. This is because the chicken in 2nd recipe has been marinated for more than 4 hours. After keeping the chicken in fridge for few hours, the marinade sauce has been absorbed by the chicken. The longer the chicken is marinade, the better it tastes. On the other hand, the 1st recipe teach us to put the chicken to the sauce and allows it to cook five to ten minutes, the sauce will only be absorbed by the chicken skin but not the chicken.
