Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 piece Large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece Ginger, minced

- 4 tablespoons Dark soy sauce (keto-friendly)
- 3 tablespoons Tamari sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 stalks Scallions, chopped
Instructions
In a large pan over medium heat, add the coconut oil and let it heat up.
Add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken drumsticks into the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Add in the sliced red chili and continue to stir for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the dark soy sauce and tamari sauce, and mix well to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated.
Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover the pan, add erythritol, black pepper, and salt, and stir to combine.
Increase the heat slightly and let the sauce reduce until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Serve the Keto Ayam Masak Kicap hot with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables.
