Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1000 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Low-carb sweet soy sauce
- 200 ml Coconut milk
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the chicken thighs. Trim any excess fat and clean them thoroughly.
2. In a large pot, add the water and bring it to a boil.
3. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add in the garlic cloves (crushed), ginger (sliced), bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the chicken thighs and let them poach gently for about 20 minutes. This will make the chicken juicy and tender.
4. Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set them aside to cool and drain off excess water.
5. In a pan, heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.
6. Add the poached chicken thighs to the pan and fry until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Season the chicken with the remaining salt and black pepper while frying.
8. Once fried, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
9. In a separate small saucepan, combine the low-carb sweet soy sauce and coconut milk.
10. Heat the mixture on low heat and stir until well combined and slightly thickened. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
11. Serve the crispy chicken thighs with the coconut soy sauce dip on the side. Enjoy your Low Carb Ayam Pop!
