Guide to cooking a flavorful Southern-style coconut chicken dish
- 500g chicken meat (chicken breast, chicken thigh...)
- Minced onions and garlic
- 1 fresh coconut
– Seasoning: Cooking oil, fish sauce, salt, sugar, pepper
How to make coconut braised chicken:
– Wash the chicken thoroughly, cut into bite-sized pieces. Then add minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, pepper. Marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
– Pour coconut water into a bowl and taste for sweetness. You should taste before cooking to avoid buying bland or sour coconut, which will make the dish less delicious.
– Put the chicken in a pan and fry until golden brown. Then add coconut water and simmer over low heat until the coconut water is fully absorbed into the chicken, then turn off the heat.
Coconut braised chicken is properly cooked when the chicken is tender and chewy, not tough, with a rich sweet and salty flavor, and a refreshing coconut taste, not overly greasy. Coconut braised chicken is best served with hot rice.
