Ayam masak kicap or simply Ayam kecap[1] is a chicken dish simmered in soy sauce (kecap or kicap) commonly found in Malaysia[2] and Indonesia.[3]

Malaysia

The Malay Ayam masak kicap is different from the Chinese version of Soy sauce chicken as the chicken meat were cut into pieces and mixed with its own spices.[4]

Indonesia

In Indonesia, ayam kecap is pieces of chicken simmered in kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), spiced with shallot or onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, leek and tomato.[1] 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. Since all of them are actually similar — if not almost identical, recipes of chicken cooked in sweet soy sauce.

However, semur ayam often add richer spices, which includes clove, cinnamon and star anise. On the other hand ayam goreng kecap has thicker sweet soy sauce and often added with slices of fresh lime or splash of lime juices. The main difference probably is its water content, despite quite moist, both ayam kecap and ayam goreng kecap are usually dryer and has thicker soy sauce compared to semur ayam which is more watery.
