Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 20 grams fresh turmeric, grated
- 10 grams ginger, grated
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 units lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add grated fresh turmeric, grated ginger, minced garlic, coconut aminos, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more intense flavor.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet. Fry the chicken, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter, garnish with fresh cilantro if using, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy your Paleo Ayam Goreng Kunyit as a main course or alongside a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
