    Ayam kecap[2] or ayam masak kicap is an Indonesian Javanese chicken dish poached or simmered in sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) commonly found in Indonesia[3] and Malaysia.[4]

    History and origin

    Fried chicken in sweet soy sauce is a typical chicken dish commonly served across Indonesia. It is more precisely of Javanese-Chinese origin. The recipe follows the production of Indonesian kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). Historically, soy sauce production is linked to Chinese influence in the archipelago. However, the Indonesian Javanese version of soy sauce is distinguished by a generous addition of thick liquid palm sugar (gula jawa) with the consistency of molasses.[5] Ayam kecap pedas is a spicier version which includes a generous amount of chili pepper.[6]

    Regional variations

    Indonesia

    Ayam kecap panggang served in a buffet in Jakarta

    In Indonesia, ayam kecap consists of pieces of chicken simmered in kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), spiced with shallot or onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, leek and tomato.[2] Other versions may include richer spices, including nutmeg and cloves.[7] In Indonesia, the term ayam kecap is often interchangeable with ayam goreng kecap (a variant of ayam goreng in sweet soy sauce) and semur 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 for semur ayam often call for richer spices, such as clove, cinnamon and star anise. Ayam goreng kecap includes 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, both ayam kecap and ayam goreng kecap are usually dryer and use thicker soy sauce compared to semur ayam, which is more watery.

    Ayam kecap commonly uses poached chicken cut in pieces, including the bones. A variant called ayam panggang kecap uses identical sweet soy sauce and spices, but uses boneless chicken fillets that are grilled instead of fried.[8]

    Malaysia

    Ayam masak kicap being cooked

    The Malay ayam masak kicap (lit.: "chicken cooked in soy sauce") is different from the Chinese version of soy sauce chicken, as the chicken meat is cut into pieces and mixed with locally distinct spices.[9] Malaysian ayam masak kicap usually includes spices similar to its Indonesian counterpart.[10] Malaysian-style ayam masak kicap is usually par-fried first as ayam goreng kunyit (turmeric fried chicken) before being simmered. It can also include potato in the stew.[11]
