'''Ayam goreng''' is an [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesian]] and [[Malaysian cuisine|Malaysian]] dish consisting of [[chicken (food)|chicken]] [[deep fried]] in [[Cooking oil|oil]]. ''Ayam goreng'' literally means "fried chicken" in [[Malay language|Malay]] (including both [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]] and [[Malaysian language|Malaysian]] standards) and also in many [[Languages of Indonesia|Indonesian regional languages]] (e.g. [[Javanese language|Javanese]]). Unlike the Southern United States-style [[fried chicken]], this Southeast Asian version is neither coated in [[Batter (cooking)|batter]] nor flour, but rather seasoned rich in various [[spices]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Lang|first=Rebecca|url=https://books.google.co.id/books?id=8judBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT189&dq=Indonesian+fried+chicken&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjUnvi7x8foAhWFV30KHUYrBXMQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=Indonesian%20fried%20chicken&f=false|title=Fried Chicken: Recipes for the Crispy, Crunchy, Comfort-Food Classic [A Cookbook]|date=2015-05-26|publisher=Potter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale|isbn=978-1-60774-725-3|language=en}}</ref>

The spice mixture may vary among regions, but usually it consists of a combination of ground [[shallot]], garlic, [[Indian bay leaves]], [[turmeric]], [[lemongrass]], [[tamarind]] juice, [[candlenut]], [[galangal]], salt and sugar. The chicken pieces are soaked and marinated in spice mixture for some time prior to frying, for the chicken to absorb the spices. The marination process might include heating the chicken in ground spices to assist the spice absorption. Most often prior to deep frying, ''ayam goreng'' is already half-cooked with yellowish colour tinted of turmeric. In Javanese, this process is called ''ungkep''.

The chicken is then [[deep fried]] in an ample amount of hot cooking oil, either [[Palm oil|palm]] or [[coconut oil]]. The chicken is well-fried until golden yellow. Some variant such as Javanese ''ayam goreng kremes'' might add the deep fried spiced flour as crispy granules. While in other recipes, these tasty granules is acquired from fried grated galangal or coconut (''serundeng'').

''Ayam goreng'' is usually served with [[steamed rice]], ''[[sambal]] terasi'' (chili with [[shrimp paste]]) or ''sambal kecap'' (sliced chili and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as a dipping sauce or condiment and slices of [[cucumber]] and tomato for garnish. Fried [[tempeh]] and [[tofu]] might be added as side dishes.
