Level
Medium
Ingredients
Whole chicken 1 piece
Kaffir lime leaves 8 leaf
Ginger 1 piece
Shallots 3 piece
Fresh turmeric 1 piece
Chicken fat 2 tablespoon
Implementation Steps
01
- Put the chicken in a pot with enough water to cover it by a little.
02
- Halve the shallots.
- Slice and bruise the ginger.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt, the shallots and ginger to the pot.
03
- Cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down low. A hard boil will tear the chicken skin.
04
SAUCE TO BRUSH OVER THE CHICKEN
- Put the turmeric and chicken fat in a pan. When the fat has melted, stir-fry until it turns a lovely golden color, then turn off the heat.
05
- Prepare a pot of cold water with ice.
- When the chicken is cooked, lift it out and plunge it straight into the iced water (this firms up the meat and makes the skin taut and crisp).
06
- Put the chicken on a plate and brush it with the golden chicken fat sauce, then sprinkle finely shredded lime leaves on top.
Leave it whole if it's for an offering, or chop it into pieces – it's up to you.
Good luck!
