Usually I buy free range chicken / organic chicken (Ayam Kampung) to make Chinese herbs soup, never thought it can be deep fried till crispy as I thought the meat will be tough and hard after deep fried....
Until I tried a plate of Nasi Ayam Kampung in a kopitiam ( cafe) near my area, love the crunchy skin and no doubt the meat is still hard but the meat is very flavourful and tasty. No wonder this is a famous Malay dish.
For your information:-
Ayam Kampung - free range chicken
Nasi - rice
goreng - deep fried
I served this with simple butter rice (this time i added more grated carrot, use Jasmine rice and did not add turmeric powder), you can serve this with nasi lemak too.
This is my version of Nasi Ayam Kampung goreng....

Looks really good! May I ask what do you for deep-frying? Deep-frying at home scares me! Splatter and loads of used oil.... But who can resist fried food now and then? ;)

This looks wonderful! Who doesn't love fried chicken?? And the jasmine butter rice with the carrots is picture perfect.
I have almost forgotten about this turmeric fried chicken. It looks delicious and you are making me crave it now. You did a great job frying the chicken as it looks so dry and crunchy!
wow so little ingredients? I'm definitely trying this! it looks simple enough but so tasty looking!
How I love this kampung style ayam goreng. Yours are cooked to perfection. Love the golden brown and dropsy skin.
The free range or kampung chicken's flesh may be a tad chewier but the flavour is so much better than battery-farm hens. And your fried version of it looks yummilicious! :D
I heard that if you brine the free range chicken it will be more moist although it will retain it's chewy character.
I was doing some research on the internet about kampung chicken sold in wet markets. I found some interesting stuff that made me freaked out.

Nowdays I'm buying free range green chicken/wheatgrass chicken online direct from the suppliers. I think they're value for money in terms of quality. Like the saying "You are what you eat"
