Fried Turmeric Chicken (Ayam Goreng Kunyit)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fried Turmeric Chicken, known as Ayam Goreng Kunyit in Malay, is one of the most timeless dishes that I feel you can never go wrong with. It’s a simple dish that’s often paired up with white rice, making it one of the ultimate contenders for best duo ever in my opinion.

It’s a classic and staple cuisine that’s so popular in Malaysia, you could find it almost everywhere there! The goreng kunyit (frying with turmeric) style of cooking is so well-loved, that you can find tons of food trucks specialising only in this delicacy. Most of them offer chicken, beef, or squid as their options.

Turmeric is an aromatic and pungent spice, making the fried chicken so tasty and irresistible, and also helps turning it into a beautiful golden brown.

And as always with fried chicken, children absolutely love it! Whenever we make this ayam goreng kunyit, my nieces and nephews will pile them up high and wipe their plates clean. It’s quite satisfying to see honestly. Haha.

This is a one-pot chicken dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for all ages.

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
