AYAM GORENG KECAP
Fried Garlic Chicken in Sweet Soy Sauce

1 bone-in chicken breast, skin removed, cut into 4 pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper

For Sweet Soy Sauce

1/4 cup canola oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 red bell pepper, julienned into 1-inch strips
1-inch piece of galanga root, sliced (in the ginger family and available at Asian markets)
3/4 cup sweet soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Canola oil for frying

Rub chicken pieces with chopped garlic and salt and pepper, then allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.

To make the sauce: Heat 1/4 cup oil in a frying pan and saute garlic for about 3 minutes. Add pepper and galanga and saute until the flavor comes out, about 5 minutes, then lower the heat and add sweet soy sauce.

Deep-fry the chicken in canola oil until crispy outside, about 8 to 10 minutes. Coat with the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
