Pritikin Style Malaysian Chicken Recipes

MALAYSIAN CHICKEN WITH CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• PREPARATION-.
• Remove any excess fat from the chicken, cut off the small tips from the two chicken wings and set aside.
• In a cup add the curry powder, onion, garlic, pepper/chili sauce and a little salt, mix and set aside.
• DIRECTIONS-.
• In a large pot (big enough to hold the chicken and stock) add 2 cups chicken stock and 1/2 cup coconut milk and bring to a low boil.
• Then add the curry powder, onion, garlic, pepper/chili sauce, salt taste (optional) to the pan, stir well.
• Next add the chicken and turn in the sauce, add more stock if necessary so that 3/4 of the chicken is covered.
• Simmer the chicken for 20 minutes and then turn over carefully in the sauce. Continue to cook in the sauce for another 35 minutes turning the chicken a few times and spoon the sauce over as needed (Note-some of the chicken skin may come off, which is not a problem).
• Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Next reduce the cooking sauce in the pot (scraping the bottom of the pan if needed) to a fairly thick sauce (might take 15 minutes or longer).
• While the sauce is being reduced, in a wok (or another large pan) add the ghee, and when it is hot, fry the chicken to a golden brown on all sides (Optional).
• After the sauce has been reduced stir in the lime juice and add salt to taste (optional).
• Next add the whole chicken back to the sauce in the pot and turn a few times in the sauce.
• Remove to a nice serving dish, pour the sauce over and then add some cilantro leaves for garnish and lime wedges on the side.
• Enjoy with rice and some vegetables.
