The Ultimate Ayam Goreng Mentega: A Delectable Indonesian Fried Chicken with Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into 16 to 32 pieces, according to preference
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 100 grams butter
- 2 limes, juiced
- 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a separate pan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lime juice and granulated sugar. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is well combined.
-
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the fried chicken pieces to the pan with the butter sauce. Toss the chicken to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the buttery, tangy sauce. Allow to cook for a few more minutes on low heat to let the flavors meld.
-
Serve: Transfer the coated chicken to a serving platter, pouring any remaining butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately for a delicious and indulgent meal.
