- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 35 min
- Makes: 1 serving (272 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: gluten, nut, poultry, soy
Ingredients
- 190 g Chicken thighs, skin-on, raw
- 15 g Hoisin sauce
- 20 g Shallots, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 1 g Turmeric
- 5 g Tamarind pulp
- 8 g Lemongrass, raw
- 1 g Lemon zest
- 5 g Macadamia nuts
- 10 g Chili peppers, red, raw
- 0.5 g Salt
- 8 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Blend the shallots, garlic, candlenut, turmeric, chili and a splash of water into a smooth paste.
- Warm the oil in a pan, fry the paste for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, then add the lemongrass, lime leaf stand-in, tamarind and salt.
- Add the chicken and enough water to half-cover it, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, turning once.
- Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes so the sauce reduces and clings to the chicken; stir in the sweet soy stand-in sauce for the last minute.
- Lift the chicken out and grill it over medium-high heat (or under a hot broiler) for 8-10 minutes, turning and basting with the leftover sauce, until charred in spots.
- Check the chicken reaches 74 °C (165 °F) with clear juices and no pink before serving.
