Ayam Percik
Kelantan chicken with a sweet coconut coating, dried chilli, shallot and ginger.
About Ayam Percik
This ayam percik follows Azie Kitchen's red Kelantan version. The author relates it to local family and celebration cooking, distinguishing red and white forms of the dish.
Thick coconut milk and a deliberately sweet seasoning give the coating richness. Shallots and ginger flavour the chicken, while dried chilli and asam keping add heat and sourness.
The chicken is presented in large portions with a glossy coconut coating that clings to its surface. The source's rice-flour thickener is conditional, and lemongrass is optional.
