chicken chop recipe..you can follow the one I had here for Chicken Chop with Tomato Miso Sauce. It depends on what type of sauce you like to have. Usually people just have mushroom sauce.

Chicken Chop served with Potato Puffs

My personal recipe:

Serves 1.

Ingredients:
2 Chicken thighs (NOT the drumstick section) (de-boned, leave skin on)

Seasoning:
1 tbsp Soy sauce
Pepper to taste
Optional:
pinch of oregano or 1 tsp Hua Tiao Jiu (to mask the "chicken" taste)

Method:
1. Heat frying pan (preferably non-stick) and add sufficient oil to coat the bottom of pan (about 1 tbsp) of cooking oil when pan is heated.
2. Place chicken thigh skin-side facing down on frying pan
3. Add seasoning
4. After about 5 min, turn the chicken over to the other side to cook (depending on thickness of the chicken, I usually turn the chicken over when the skin starts to show signs of browning)
5. After 3 min, turn chicken back to the skin side and pan-fry for another 1 min.
6. Remove from heat and serve the chicken topped with brown gravy and sides such as fries/eggs/baked beans/bread etc.

Notes:
1. For the brown gravy, I buy pre-packed mixes (eg McCormick) and cook as per instructions. I throw in sauteed onions and sliced button mushrooms for added flavor.
2. Soy sauce can be reduced or replaced by salt if you find the taste of soy sauce in the chicken too strong.[/img]

interesting recipe. by the way, NTUC and Cold Storage do sell Boneless chicken thighs. Usually they are Fresh chicken. So the meat is very tender..after cooking, its very juicy.

the labelling used in CS is very funny : Bless Chicken Thigh. The word Bless is a short form of BoneLESS..so cute hor? Wink

Gina,

I must complain about the NTUC at my place then. They sell fresh chicken thighs, but not boneless. So I have to de-bone it myself. Evil or Very Mad

DH and I both love to order chicken chops while we were at NUS so I created this recipe from observing how the stallholder cooked his chicken chop. The seasoning was by trial & error. Doubt that it's authentic but so long as it tastes great, who cares! Wink

But yah, one of the key thing in this recipe is not to over-cook the chicken so that it stays juicy & tender.

I'm planning to do this soon, let me see if I can get my DH to take a pic of it for me. (He's into photography while I'm most happy cooking.)

Hi,I love this recipe....the lemon juice tenderises the chicken,and the herbs go so well with it. Best still,it all goes in your food processor,just blitz and go!

HERB MARINADE FOR 8 to 10 chicken thighs:
4 to 5 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp worth garlic
juice and zest of a large lemon
2 to 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme,leaves removed,stalks discarded
1 heaped tsp paprika
1 tsp sugar
Salt and fresh ground back pepper to taste

HOW:
Process all ingredients till combined...the oil and acid,when "whipped" in the processor,will thicken and become slightly creamy...this allows it to sit on the chicken really well instead of "sliding" off,and hence allows flavour to penetrate better!

P.S: Tip for you...chicken chops can be hard to cook because they have uneven thickness. So slash thru the thick parts before marinating. Another point,to get really crisp skin,get the pan really hot,have some oil in,and sear the chicken skin side down. Cover with a lid to trap in heat. After 3 minutes,turn over and fry...no lid on,otherwise skin goes soft...not crisp.
NO pressing,and no multiple turns. Juice will escape resulting in dry chicken... coffee

Thanks, I don't need the MRT to go to SengKang. I can take Service 80. Dog food is delivered right to my doorstep! Wink

Will check out CS at Compass Point one day!

Thanks once again!

I bought boneless chciken leg instead because i could not stop any boneless chicken thighs. The look the same to me Razz

1 problem i encountered while making this dish is that the chicken is sliced too thick and that makes it hard to cook. And the pan frying stage made my kitchen so oily. island

Anyone encountered the same issue?

slash the thick portions in several places to ensure even cooking.
Also,have a cover ready for the pan,slam on once you put the chicken in,to prevent oil spitting.

Anyone know how to make black pepper sauce for the chicken chop? Or is there pre-packed black pepper sauce?

Hi Kitchen,

The wet market near Heartland Mall do have chicken drumstick without bone at $1 each...very cheap. I travelled all the way just to buy drumstick & wings ($5 for 13 pcs.). yummy

Do we need to pound the meat before marinating? I heard from my mom that pounding can make the meat tender.

Hi Melina,

sorry for the late reply, I hardly visit this forum now. I hope you are still looking around here.

I usually don't season the chicken chop before cooking. However, if you wish to, you can season it with the seasoning I've listed. 30min should be sufficient.
