Malaysian crispy easy chicken chop with coleslaw and fries

Many Malaysians would consider the Chicken Chop as a right of passage to the world of Western food. I used to have it all the time as a kid and it’s my go-to order at a Western restaurant near my childhood home. I didn’t know until I hit my teens that it is in fact a dish that was created in Malaysia!

Delicious Chicken Chop

Chicken chop is essentially marinated breaded boneless chicken – preferably the juicy chicken quarter (thigh and drumstick) – that’s fried to golden perfection, then drowned in a mouthwatering sauce.

It’s hard to find boneless chicken quarters so I deboned it myself. I’m not the best at it so I’m not even going to attempt to explain it, but I just followed the tutorials on Youtube. It’s not as intimidating as it seems, trust me!

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just as long as you don’t separate the drumstick and thigh. You can definitely use boneless chicken thigh but you’ll get a smaller sized chicken chop. Alternatively, you can use a butterflied and flattened chicken breast.

Black pepper vs Brown Mushroom Sauce

A popular sauce option that I usually go for is black pepper, which gives a nice spicy kick with each bite of the tender chicken. But another well-loved option is to serve the chicken chop with some brown mushroom sauce.

I always find it very hard to choose between the two when I’m asked because I love both sauces! Which is why I have a recipe for both so you won’t have to make that choice. 😉

Sides

Traditionally, chicken chop is served with fresh coleslaw and crinkled fries. If you’re looking for something kid friendly, this is definitely one of those dishes that’s a big hit with them!

Notes

*Chicken quarters (drumstick and thigh) is best for this and the perfect size for 1 serving. I deboned the chicken quarter myself since it’s hard to find boneless chicken quarters. It doesn’t have to be perfect just as long as the drumstick and thighs are still connected. You can use chicken thigh but you will get a smaller chicken chop. 
*Alternatively, you can use chicken breast too that’s been butterflied and flattened.
*Adjust the seasoning for both sauces according to preference.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
