- Juice of 1/2 lime

- 2 small pieces palm sugar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the chicken pieces under running water and set them aside.
- Rub the chicken with lime juice and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
-
Make the Marinade:
- Chop the garlic and turmeric into small pieces. Place them in a blender along with a pinch of salt, ground coriander, and a small amount of water.
- Blend until smooth.
- Rub this mixture over the chicken pieces and let them marinate for another 15 minutes.
-
Cook the Chicken:
- In a pot, bring water to a boil for simmering. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the boiling water.
- Stir occasionally and cover the pot. Cook until the water is slightly reduced, but do not let it dry out completely, as you’ll need some of the water for later.
- Set the chicken aside.
-
Prepare the Soy Sauce:
- Pour sweet soy sauce into the pot used for simmering the chicken.
- Stir well and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
-
Prepare the Coconut Sauce:
- In a small pot, combine the Kara coconut milk with some water. Bring to a boil.
- Add palm sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a pan. Fry the chicken pieces briefly for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place it back into the sweet soy sauce mixture.
-
Grill the Chicken:
- Prepare your grill (preferably a charcoal grill for that authentic flavor).
- Grill the chicken until the skin is caramelized and slightly crispy.
-
Serve:
- Serve the grilled chicken with a generous drizzle of the coconut sauce.
- Enjoy the delicious and aromatic Ayam Bakar Saus Santan!
