spiced fried chicken / ayam goreng berempah 香料炸鸡

This is a new favorite fried chicken in our family. This is a famous dish in Malaysia, especially you can enjoy it in most of the malay or mamak restaurant. Now we not need to go out there but can enjoy it at our home!


I always wanted to cook this "ayam goreng berempah" long time ago but didn't get the ingredients on hand until few days ago finally bought it back home. This is my very first time to cook this but I am very satisfy about it.

I cook another vegetable dish after fried this chicken by using the same oil & spices which stick on the pan. No waste and this dish need curry flavor oil.
