Central Java Fried Chicken-Ayam Goreng Jawa


This is Central Java Fried Chicken recipe. Two easy steps to make this fried chicken. First, boil the chicken with spiced coconut milk, this step will also tenderize the meat. Then, just fry the chicken quickly in hot oil when ready to be served. The chicken will be full of flavors from the spiced coconut milk. I served the chicken with cucumber and carrot pickles, and spicy sweet soy sauce. The cucumber and carrot pickle recipe will be available on my next post.

1 Free Range Chicken, about 1 ½ kg (3 ¼ lb), cut into 8 or 10 pieces

Put the rest of the coconut milk in a saucepan, and add the paste. Mix thoroughly, add the chicken pieces, and boil for 45-50 minutes until the meat has absorbed the sauce.
