Ayam goreng
deep fried in coconut oil | |
Ayam goreng is an
chicken in oil. Ayam goreng literally means "fried chicken" in Malay, Indonesian and also in many Indonesian regional languages (e.g. Javanese). Unlike other countries, Indonesian fried chicken usually uses turmeric and garlic
as its main ingredients rather than flour.
Marination and spices
Some versions of ayam goreng are neither coated in
candlenut, galangal
, salt and sugar. The chicken pieces are soaked and marinated in the spice mixture for some time prior to frying, for the chicken to absorb the spices. The marination process might include heating the chicken in ground spices to assist the spice absorption. Most often prior to deep frying, ayam goreng is already half-cooked with yellowish colour tinted of turmeric. In Javanese, this process is called ungkep.
The chicken is then
deep fried in an ample amount of hot cooking oil, either palm or coconut oil
. The chicken is well-fried until golden yellow. Some variants such as Javanese ayam goreng kremes might add the deep fried spiced flour as crispy granules. While in other recipes, these tasty granules are acquired from fried grated galangal or coconut (serundeng).
Ayam goreng is usually served with
steamed rice, sambal terasi (chili with shrimp paste) or sambal kecap (sliced chilli and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as a dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato for garnish. Fried tempeh and tofu
might be added as side dishes.
