Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Whole chicken
- 3 Bay leaves
- 2 Lemongrass stalk
- 5 cm Galangal
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 5 Garlic cloves
- 4 Shallots
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 3 Lime leaves
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
Cut the whole chicken into 8 pieces and clean thoroughly. Set aside.
Peel and slice the garlic and shallots. Peel and crush the galangal.
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add bay leaves, lemongrass stalks (bruised with the back of a knife), galangal, turmeric, garlic, shallots, salt, and pepper.
Introduce the chicken pieces to the pot and ensure they are submerged in the broth. Cover and allow to simmer over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and infused with the spices.
Remove the chicken pieces from the broth and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Discard the cooking broth or reserve it for another use if desired.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until lightly golden and crispy on the outside. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with lime leaves and drizzle with lime juice for a fresh zing.
Serve the Soy-Free Ayam Pop alongside steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
