Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Prepare the spice paste: Combine shallot, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, red chili, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder in a blender or food processor.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add a tablespoon of water if needed to help blend into a smooth paste.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the prepared spice paste.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 3
Sauté the spice paste for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the oil separates.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooking the paste thoroughly helps to develop complex flavors.
- 4
Pour in the coconut milk, then add tamarind paste, palm sugar, and salt.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 5
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the heat is not too high to prevent the coconut milk from curdling.
- 6
Add the chicken thighs to the simmering sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 7
Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: This step tenderizes the chicken and infuses it with flavor.

Remove the chicken from the sauce and set it aside. Continue to simmer the remaining sauce for another 5-10 minutes until it thickens to a basting consistency.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: The sauce should be thick enough to cling to the chicken.
- 9
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: You can also use an oven broiler or a grill pan.
- 10
Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, basting frequently with the thickened percik sauce.
Aproximativ 14 min.
Nota bucătarului: Basting often is key to building layers of flavor and preventing the chicken from drying out.
- 11
Continue grilling and basting until the chicken is beautifully charred, fully cooked, and tender.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C (165°F).

Serve the Ayam Percik immediately with any remaining percik sauce drizzled over the top.
Nota bucătarului: Best served with steamed white rice.
