How to Make Spiced Fried Chicken Wings (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Spiced Fried Chicken Wings, or Ayam Goreng Berempah, is a beloved Malaysian dish that captures the essence of the country’s multicultural cuisine. Infused with a robust blend of local spices such as kunyit (turmeric), lengkuas (galangal), and serai (lemongrass), each bite is aromatic, crispy, and deeply flavorful. This dish is a staple at Malaysian family gatherings, festive celebrations, and is often enjoyed as a main course or an appetizing snack. The magic of Ayam Goreng Berempah lies in its marinade, which brings together Malay, Indian, and Chinese influences—resulting in a complex yet harmonious flavor profile. Traditionally, the wings are marinated in a paste of fresh herbs and spices, then shallow-fried until golden and fragrant. Our healthy adaptation uses less oil and incorporates air-frying for a lighter meal without sacrificing the signature crunch. Using local ingredients like pandan leaves and fresh coriander, this recipe delivers authentic Malaysian taste that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
