Betutu is a pride typical dish of Bali made of whole chicken or duck contains spices, and roasted in the husk fire. This highly seasoned and spiced dish is a popular dish in Bali and Lombok. An even spicier version is available using extra-spicy sauce made from uncooked (raw) onion slices mixed with red chili peppers and coconut oil.
