What it is
An Acehnese specialty, this fried chicken is marinated with an abundance of herbs like curry leaves, pandan leaves, and green chilies, which are deep-fried alongside the chicken, creating a fragrant and crispy coating of spices and leaves.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, garlic, ginger, turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, salt, pepper, curry leaves, pandan leaves, green chilies, cooking oil (for deep frying).
Optional tweaks
Request no rice. Confirm no heavy flour-based batter, as it's typically a light coating of spices.

Ayam Tangkap, no rice please. Can you confirm it's not made with a heavy flour batter?
