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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the galangal and smash the lemongrass stalks to release flavor.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
Step 5
Cover the pot and allow the chicken to poach for about 25 minutes or until fully cooked through and tender.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the thighs from the pot, letting any excess liquid drip off.
Step 7
In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the fried chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the Sugar-Free Ayam Pop hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as steamed rice and fresh sambal.
