Title: Super Simple Crispy Ayam Geprek Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 chicken breast
- 1 cup crispy flour (such as Kobe)
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 bird’s eye chilies
- A small amount of garlic
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken breast to ensure it’s clean and free of any residual impurities.
-
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle a generous amount of ground pepper over the chicken breast, ensuring it is evenly coated to infuse the meat with flavor.
-
Make the Wet Batter: In a bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of crispy flour in a small amount of water to create a wet batter. Dip the seasoned chicken breast into this batter, making sure it is fully coated.
-
Coat with Dry Flour: Roll the batter-coated chicken breast in a bowl of crispy flour, turning it over several times and gently pressing to ensure an even, thorough coating. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly crispy texture.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breast. Fry the chicken until it turns a beautiful golden brown and is crispy all over. Once done, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Prepare the Chili-Garlic Mixture: While the chicken is frying, place the bird’s eye chilies and a small amount of garlic into a mortar and pestle. Add a pinch of salt and grind the ingredients until they form a rough paste.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the chicken has been fried and drained, place it into the mortar with the chili-garlic mixture. Use the pestle to gently crush and mix the chicken with the paste, ensuring the flavors are well incorporated and the chicken is slightly broken up.
-
Enjoy: Your super simple and delicious crispy Ayam Geprek is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot and savor the perfect blend of spicy, crispy, and flavorful chicken.
