Ayam Bumbu Bawang: A Simple and Flavorful Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken fillet (dada ayam), cleaned and cut into small pieces
- 1 lime (jeruk nipis)
- Marinade:
- 5 cloves garlic (bawang putih)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (lada hitam)
- Sugar and salt to taste (secukupnya gula dan garam)
- Cooking oil (minyak goreng)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by rinsing the chicken fillet thoroughly and cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces. Squeeze the lime over the chicken to infuse it with a fresh, tangy flavor.
-
Marinate the Chicken: For the marinade, finely grind or blend the garlic cloves, then mix with black pepper, sugar, and salt. Coat the chicken pieces with this marinade mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to let the flavors meld and intensify.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces. Fry them until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
