Ajam Goreng

With its crispy crust and juicy center, Ajam Goreng is a beloved classic in Indonesian homes. The chicken is marinated in garlic, turmeric, and spices to absorb flavor before frying. It’s a dish people grow up with, enjoyed for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients (3-4 servings)

1 Boembloc Koenir
500-800 g chicken
650 ml water

Instructions

1. Put the chicken, Boembloc Koenir, and water in a pan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.

2. Open the lid and stir so the flavors mix well. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.

3. Cover the pan again and cook until the chicken is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through.

4. Turn off the heat, take out the chicken, and let it drain for 5 minutes.

5. Crisp the chicken:

If you’re pan-frying, heat oil over medium. Fry the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until it’s golden and crispy.

For the air fryer, brush or spray the chicken with oil. Cook at 180°C for 10 to 12 minutes until it’s golden and crispy.

Dish it up while still hot, pairing it with fluffy rice and a generous spoonful of your favorite sambal for a truly comforting meal.
