Crispy Fried Chicken

(Ayam Goreng Gurih)

I am a big fan of Chicken, especially Crispy Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng Gurih). This recipe I got from my mother. It's tasty and crispy. Sometimes to make it crunchier, I like to add spiced flour on it.You can eat it as main dish, or you can have it with other meals. I like to eat it with  plain rice (nasi putih),  sambal bajak  and lalapan (Indonesian salad) or as a side dish for  yellow rice (nasi kuning).
