AYAM GORENG KUNING

Fried chicken is so popular in Indonesia that they have their own franchise chain called "Mbok Berek" It's sort of like an Indonesian KFC. The similarities end there though. Indonesian fried chicken is first marinated and then simmered in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs. Only then is it fried to golden, crispy perfection.

There are countless variations to the basic recipe. Ayam goreng kuning, tinted a rich yellow (kuning) with turmeric, is one of the most popular. Other common variations are listed below.
