History and origin

[edit]

Fried chicken in sweet soy sauce is a typical chicken dish commonly served acrossIndonesia.However, it is more precisely ofJavanese-Chineseorigin. The recipe follows the production of Indonesiankecap manis(sweet soy sauce). Historically, soy sauce production is linked to Chinese influence in the archipelago. However, Indonesian Javanese version of soy sauce has its own twist, which is a generous addition of thick liquidpalm sugar(gula jawa) with consistency ofmolasses.[5]Theayam kecap pedasis spicier version which also adds a generous amount ofchili pepper.[6]

Indonesia

In Indonesia,ayam kecapis pieces of chicken simmered inkecap manis(sweet soy sauce), spiced withshallotor onion, garlic,ginger,pepper,leekand tomato.[2]Other versions may add richer spices, includingnutmegandcloves.[7]In Indonesia, the termayam kecapis often interchangeable withayam goreng kecap(a variant ofayam gorengin sweet soy sauce) andsemur ayam(Indonesian sweet soy stew which uses chicken instead of beef). These are all similar—if not almost identical—recipes of chicken cooked in sweet soy sauce. However, recipes forsemur ayamoften add richer spices, such asclove,cinnamonandstar anise.On the other hand,ayam goreng kecaphas thicker sweet soy sauce and is often served with slices of fresh lime or a splash of lime juice. The main difference is probably its water content: although still quite moist, bothayam kecapandayam goreng kecapare usually dryer and use thicker soy sauce, compared tosemur ayam,which is more watery.

Ayam kecapcommonly uses poached chicken cut in pieces, including the bones. However, there is a variant calledayam panggang kecapwhich uses identical sweet soy sauce and spices, but substitutes a boneless chicken fillet that is grilled instead of fried.[8]

Malaysia
