About Ayam Goreng Recipe
"Ayam goreng" is a popular Indonesian and Malaysian dish that translates to "fried chicken" in English. It is a flavorful and delicious dish that is loved by many people around the world.
To prepare ayam goreng, the chicken is usually marinated in a mixture of various spices and herbs, which can include garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and other seasonings. The marinated chicken is then deep-fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
Ayam goreng is often served with rice and a side of sambal, which is a spicy chili paste. It can also be accompanied by various salads, pickles, or other side dishes to enhance the meal.
