Receta Ayam Percik (Baked Chicken in Coconut Sauce)
I enjoy Malay food but most of the time I don't exactly know the name of the food. I will normally point at the food that I want at the Malay food stall. I first came to know this Ayam Percik from May's blog when she posted this recipe on her blog. Later this recipe appeared on Esther's as well as Jessie's blogs. This Ayam Percik looks so delicious and I like that it's so easy to cook, no, not cook but 'BAKE'! Normally this Ayam Percik is grilled over a low charcoal fire. I used chicken drumsticks and marinated with half of the coconut sauce overnight. It took only about 40 minutes to bake. Mmmm.. my family gave their thumbs up for this Ayam Percik and thank you friends for sharing this great recipe. Definitely love to "cook" this tender and succulent, packed with yummy flavours Ayam Percik again.
Ayam Percik (Baked Chicken in Coconut Sauce)
- 4 Chicken drumsticks (about 1kg)
- Marinade:
- 5 stalks Lemongrass, white part only, chopped
- 80g Shallots, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3tsp Fresh Turmeric powder
- 20 Fresh Ginger, skinned & chopped
- 4 Red chillies (also added extra 1 tbsp chilli paste - optional)
- 120g Coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Salt (I used 1/2 tbsp)
- 1.5 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Fish sauce
Method:
Grind the marinade into paste.
Rub through the marinade on the chicken drumsticks and refrigerate overnight.
Bake chicken drumsticks in 180C preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until cooked through. Turn the drumsticks and brush with marinade every 10 minutes.
**(I used half of the marinade on the chicken meat. Keep the remaining marinade in a separate bowl for brushing during the process of baking).
note: the marinade is enough for 6 pieces or 1.5kg chicken drumsticks.
Recipe is based on May's and Jessie's blogs with minor adjustments.
