Ingredients

Ayam Percik – 1 portion
Yellow onion – 1 medium
Garlic – 4 cloves
Cooking broth or stock – 250 ml
Olive oil – 3 tbsp
Salt and pepper – to taste

Steps

Pat the protein dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat a heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil. Sear the protein on all sides to build color, 2–3 minutes per side.
Lower the heat and add the aromatics (onion, garlic, herbs) for Ayam Percik. Cook until softened, 5 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with broth or wine, scraping up the fond. Return the protein to the pan, cover, and simmer (or oven-braise) for 30–40 minutes.
Check for doneness — the protein should be tender and pull easily. Remove from heat and rest 5 minutes before serving.
Plate with the reduced pan juices spooned over. Serve with rice, bread, or vegetables to round out the meal.
