Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 500 ml Coconut water
- 2 stalks Lemongrass
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Galangal
- 3 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 100 ml Cooking oil
Instructions
Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the galangal and smash the lemongrass stalks to release flavor.
In a large pot, combine the coconut water, crushed lemongrass, sliced galangal, and peeled garlic. Add the turmeric powder, kaffir lime leaves, salt, and white pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pot and allow the chicken to poach for about 25 minutes or until fully cooked through and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the thighs from the pot, letting any excess liquid drip off.
In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully add the poached chicken thighs to the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-5 minutes on each side.
Remove the fried chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Sugar-Free Ayam Pop hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as steamed rice and fresh sambal.
