Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 500 ml Water
- 100 ml Coconut cream
- 2 pieces Lemongrass stalks, crushed
- 4 pieces Kaffir lime leaves
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons White pepper
- 3 slices Galangal slices
Instructions
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large saucepan, heat 500 ml of water and add the coconut cream, crushed lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, minced garlic, salt, white pepper, and galangal slices.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Add the chicken thighs to the saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Ensure to occasionally stir to prevent sticking.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the chicken pieces from the pan and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a separate large frying pan or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the pan and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Keto Ayam Pop hot, garnished with additional kaffir lime leaves or a side of keto-friendly sambal if desired.
