Ayam Percik (Baked Chicken in Coconut Sauce)

Ayam Percik (Baked Chicken in Coconut Sauce)

Ingredients:

    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.

• 把腌料放入搅拌机磨烂致成酱。
• 然后加入鸡腿腌致一夜尚可入味。
• 把鸡腿放在烤盘中，放入预热烤箱以２００度烤致４０分钟致熟透。
• 每隔十分钟把鸡腿翻转一次，涂上酱料，使鸡肉更加美味。

      ＊＊我只用一半的酱料腌制鸡肉。剩余的在烘烤时拿来涂在鸡肉面上。
               酱料够腌制１．５公斤鸡肉。


好喜欢这道美味的烤鸡，香而不腻，颜色秀人，家人吃了都赞好吃！
