Made this ayam percik to go with the quinoa ulam I had made. Ayam percik is essentially a Malaysian grilled chicken. I used the marinade for the chicken to turn it into a drizzle for the grilled chicken.

  6. 1/2 inchginger
  7. 1/2 inchgalangal (or extra ginger as a substitute)

Cooking Instructions

45 mis
  1. 1

    Rub the chicken with salt and turmeric powder. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Blend the shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, tomato paste, dried chillies and cooking oil to form a paste.

  3. 3

    Fry the paste in a wok until the sauce splits (pecah minyak). I wait till I sneeze then I know it's ready.

  4. 4

    Add in the lemongrass stalks to the wok and fry for a little while.

  5. 5

    Add in the water, coconut milk and the chicken. Give everything a good stir and leave it to simmer.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan on maximum heat over the stove. You can also use an oven grill.

  7. 7

    When the chicken is about half-way cooked, take the chicken thighs out of the wok and grill them on the griddle pan. Drizzle some sauce on the chicken as you are grilling them. About 3 mins on each side should be enough to cook the chicken and get a nice char.

  8. 8

    Allow the sauce in the wok to thicken to your liking, season with some salt (if needed), sugar and lime juice. Drizzle over grilled chicken.
