Food Glossary: Ayam Goreng

A Yogyakarta speciality, this dish is simply fried chicken.  However, I would argue that it is more than just fried chicken!  It is first poached to marinade it slowly with a mixture of garlic, palm sugar, shallots, tamarind and other spices.  Served with fresh spicy sambal this dish is delicious and is easy to replicate yourself.  I think it is delicious eaten straight from poaching, or fried.
