Ayam Goreng Bacem is a Javanese-style fried chicken that is first braised in a sweet and savory sauce before being deep-fried to perfection. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of sweet soy sauce, garlic, shallots, and various spices before being braised until the meat is tender and infused with the flavors of the marinade. After the chicken is cooked, it is then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.

Ayam Goreng Bacem is typically served with steamed rice, and the braising liquid is often drizzled over the top for added flavor. It is a popular dish in Indonesia and can be found in many Indonesian restaurants around the world.
