Prepare the Chicken:
- Thoroughly wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Marinate with lime juice (air jeruk nipis) and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

Make the Sambal:
- In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the shallots, garlic, and chilies together. The mixture should be chunky, not too fine.

-
Coat and Fry the Chicken:
- Coat the marinated chicken breasts generously with the Sajiku spicy flour seasoning.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, then remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Place the fried chicken on a serving plate and generously top it with the freshly made sambal.
- Using a pestle or the back of a spoon, gently smash (geprek) the chicken and sambal together to combine the flavors.
-
Serve:
