Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 shallots, minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 lemongrass stalk, bruised
- Oil for frying
Preparation

3. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken pieces, making sure that they are evenly coated.
4. Add the bay leaves and lemongrass stalk to the chicken and mix well.
5. Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge for better results.
Frying
1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan, skin-side down.
3. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serving
Ayam goreng kuning is best served hot with steaming white rice and sambal on the side. Garnish with fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumber for a refreshing touch.
Tips and Tricks
- For a crispier skin, you can double-fry the chicken. After the first fry, let the chicken pieces rest for a few minutes before frying them again.
- Use a deep-frying thermometer to make sure the oil is at the right temperature (350°F/180°C).
- For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken in the oven instead of frying it. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C and bake the chicken for about 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
Conclusion
Ayam goreng kuning may seem like a simple dish, but it's packed with flavor and loved by many. With this recipe, you can easily make it at home and impress your family and friends. Happy cooking!
