Also known as: Aceh Fried Chicken, Tangkap Chicken
Acehnese fried chicken with curry leaves, pandan and green curly chillies.

About Ayam Tangkap
ResepKoki presents this Ayam Tangkap as an authentic Acehnese recipe, credited to Dhila Sina. Chicken is paired with curry leaves, pandan, daun salam and green curly chillies.
Garlic, galangal and coriander season the chicken, while curry leaves and pandan supply a fragrant herbal character. Green chillies add heat, with salt and pepper completing the seasoning.
The chicken has dark golden-brown surfaces surrounded by dry fried leaves. This selected version uses the ground spice paste; the author’s separate grated-galangal variation is outside its scope.
