Chicken prepared by frying
خلفية ثقافية
In Central Java, ayam goreng is often sweet because the chicken is braised in coconut water and palm sugar before frying. This is known as 'Ayam Goreng Kalasan'. In Padang restaurants, you might find 'Ayam Pop'. It is fried but looks pale because it is skinned and braised in coconut water before a very quick fry. The 'Ayam Geprek' trend involves taking a piece of fried chicken and smashing it with a mortar and pestle along with lots of chili. It's a favorite among students. Ayam goreng is a mandatory part of a 'Tumpeng' (yellow rice cone) used to celebrate birthdays or new beginnings.
The Rice Rule
In Indonesia, ayam goreng is almost never eaten alone; it's always accompanied by a plate of steaming white rice.
Watch the Sambal
Ayam goreng is usually served with sambal. If you don't like spicy food, ask for 'sambal terpisah' (chili on the side).
