Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken
- 5 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 5 pieces Shallots, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 500 ml Water
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by cutting it into quarters. Clean and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large pot, combine minced garlic, sliced shallots, grated ginger, turmeric, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chicken to the pot and rub the spice mixture all over the pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Pour the water into the pot, add bay leaves, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
After cooking, remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cooked chicken pieces and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the Ayam Pop while hot with steamed rice and sambal on the side for a traditional Indonesian meal.
