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.
