Chicken is the most favorite dish in Indonesia and even the world, and each region has its own characteristic way to cook chicken. Chicken is a food that can be cooked in different variations --- baked, fried, or steamed --- but all are equally delicious, like this recipe from Aceh named “AYAM TANGKAP” (Chicken Catch).This typical dish from the region of Aceh is fried chicken served with leafy herbs. People say that the habit of eating Chicken Capture has become the culture of the Acehnese. So if you are on vacation in the Veranda of Mecca (Aceh), there are lots of famous restaurants that cook this dish. But arguably, this cuisine is still less popular and somewhat more difficult to find a vendor compared with, for example popcorn fried chicken or seasoned fried chicken.Making Ayam Tangkap is quite easy - just a few basic ingredients, along with natural ingredients that make this dish even more special. First, the chicken is flavored before frying (you can just soak it in the spices, or boil briefly with the spices).According to the story, the inventor of this recipe should catch the chicken first before cooking --- because that process was unique, and so it was called Ayam Tangkap. This dish much better if using chicken that's cut into small sizes, so the marinade can seep up into the meat.Ayam Tangkap doesn't seem attractive at first glance, because it's served with the dried herbs that are eaten with chicken. But the delicious fried chicken is wrapped in the scent of various leafy spices that give it a distinctive and tasty flavor. Looks might not be great, but this Ayam Tangkap with it's marinade make it perfect if used as a side dish when eating rice.I think it would also be nice if used for menu when celebrate #THANKSGIVING…

Made this ayam percik to go with the quinoa ulam I had made. Ayam percik is essentially a Malaysian grilled chicken. I used the marinade for the chicken to turn it into a drizzle for the grilled chicken.
