Brilio.net - Most people consider processing kampung chicken meat to be a challenge. Its harder texture compared to broiler chicken makes people think twice before cooking it. However, there is a simple trick that can make kampung chicken meat tender without having to use a pressure cooker. The key lies in one type of spice that is easy to find in the kitchen, namely ginger. Here are the steps that can be followed to get tender and delicious kampung chicken meat quoted by BrilioFood from the YouTube account Resep Masakan Sederhana Remana, Thursday (23/1).
The first step that needs to be done is to prepare one kampung chicken that has been cut into pieces. These chicken pieces will facilitate the cooking process and ensure that all parts of the chicken are cooked evenly. In addition, also prepare other ingredients such as ginger and salt that will be used in the boiling process.
Boil the water first.

Start by boiling water in a pot. The amount of water used can be adjusted to the size or portion of chicken to be cooked. Make sure there is enough water to submerge all the chicken pieces. Cover the pot so that the water boils quickly, so that the cooking process can be more efficient.
Add Ginger and Salt.

After the water boils, add the ginger that has been crushed to the size of two thumb joints. Ginger not only functions to remove the fishy smell from the chicken, but also helps speed up the process of tenderizing the meat. Also add 1.5 teaspoons of salt to give a savory taste to the boiled chicken.
Add the chicken pieces.

Let the water boil again after adding the ginger and salt. Then, put the pieces of free-range chicken into the pot. Make sure all parts of the chicken are completely submerged in the boiling water. This is important so that all parts of the chicken are cooked well and evenly.
Boil and Let Stand
Cover the pan, then boil the free-range chicken for 5 minutes. After that, turn off the stove and let the chicken sit for 30 minutes with the pan still covered. The remaining hot temperature from boiling while it is left alone will continue the cooking process, so that the chicken becomes much more tender.
Boil Again

After 30 minutes, turn the stove back on and boil the chicken for 10 minutes with the pan covered. This process ensures that the chicken is completely cooked and tender. Once done, turn off the stove and leave the chicken in the pan for a while before processing it into a favorite menu.
By following the steps above, free-range chicken meat will become very tender, and can even peel off like it was pressure-cooked, as claimed by the owner of the YouTube account Resep Masakan Sederhana Remana.
This process not only makes the meat easier to consume, but also maintains the natural flavor of the typical free-range chicken. Ginger as the main spice in this process provides a refreshing aroma and taste, while adding nutritional value to the dish.
Tenderizing kampung chicken meat without a pressure cooker is not as difficult as imagined. By utilizing ginger and the right boiling technique, chicken meat can be tender and delicious. This trick is not only practical, but also economical because it does not require special equipment. So, for those who want to enjoy kampung chicken with a soft texture, this method is worth a try. Happy cooking and enjoy a dish of tender and appetizing kampung chicken!
