<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMain Ingredients for Chicken Chop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Deboned chicken thigh. <\/strong>The Malaysian chicken chop is prepared with boneless chicken thigh, with or without the skin. Since it is so popular in Malaysia, pre-marinated chicken chops are even available from supermarkets. These marinated chicken chops are usually frozen and ready to grill or deep-fry out of the box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Seasonings. <\/strong>The characteristic flavor of the Malaysian-style chicken chop is due to the use of Worcestershire sauce and light soy sauce. Both are indispensable in the recipe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Herbs. <\/strong>Rosemary and thyme are optional, although I strongly recommend including them in the recipe. Alternatively, you can add some dried mixed herbs to improve the taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to prepare the chicken chop from scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\na. Marinate the chicken<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Contrary to the (beef) steak, you must marinate the chicken long enough to imbue the flavor into the meat. That is why marinated, frozen chicken chops work and are in demand in the F&B industry. (although it is not as juicy as the fresh chicken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- First, clean the deboned chicken thigh with water, drain, and pat dry. Most chicken vendors in Malaysia offer deboning services at no extra cost, saving you time and effort if you were to do it yourself at home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Place the deboned chicken thigh in a large bowl or plate. Add Worcestershire sauce<\/a><\/strong>, light soy sauce<\/a><\/strong>, freshly ground black pepper,<\/a><\/strong> rosemary<\/a><\/strong>, thyme <\/a><\/strong>(dried herbs should be fine), salt, and vegetable oil. Massage all the seasonings into the chicken thoroughly. Let it rest in the refrigerator to marinate for at least half a day or longer. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
b. Grill the chicken<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Heat some oil in the grill pan<\/a><\/strong>. Peanut oil is my favorite, but palm oil, corn oil, and canola oil are equally good. (I use a grill pan since I am living in an apartment. But, of course, it is better to do it on an open fire if you have a barbecue pit.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When the oil is near its smoking point, turn the heat to medium-low. Place the chicken chop skin-side down on the grill pan and leave it undisturbed for about 4 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After four minutes, turn the chicken steak ninety degrees and continue grilling until it reaches the desired color. This will create the crossed grill marks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When it reaches a golden brown color and has clear grill marks, flip the chicken over to grill the other side until it is also golden brown. Remove once it has reached the desired color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Serve with homemade brown sauce and French fries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
c. Prepare a quick and easy mushroom sauce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
We serve chicken chops in the restaurant with our homemade brown sauce and black pepper sauce. However, it is not practical to make it at home as it is time-consuming. Instead, here\u2019s a simple mushroom sauce you can prepare in just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Saute some chopped garlic in a pan with some oil. When the garlic becomes aromatic, remove it and add the sliced onion. Saute the onion until tender and translucent. Return the garlic to the pan. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Add the mushroom and saut\u00e9 for another minute. Add about half a cup of store-bought chicken stock<\/a><\/strong>, plus 3 tbsp of whipped cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When it returns to a boil, mix 1 tsp of cornstarch with 4 tbsp of cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the pan to form a thick gravy. Then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finally, add about 1\/4 tsp of dark soy sauce to darken the color of the sauce. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Serve the chicken chop with the mushroom sauce poured over the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
