Ayam Geprek: Crispy Fried Chicken with Spicy Sambal

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams (1/2 kg) chicken breast
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • To taste: black pepper, salt, and Royco seasoning (or chicken bouillon)
  • To taste: ground coriander (ketumbar)
  • Water as needed
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • To taste: turmeric powder
  • Sambal Bawang:
    • 20 red chilies
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • To taste: salt and Royco seasoning
    • Hot oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Wash the chicken breast thoroughly.
    • In a pot, bring water to a boil and add crushed garlic, salt, turmeric powder, and Royco seasoning.
    • Submerge the chicken breast in the boiling water and cook until tender. Once cooked, remove and drain the chicken well.
  2. Prepare the Coating:

    • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, Royco seasoning, and ground coriander.
    • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
    • Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
    • Roll the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
  3. Fry the Chicken:

    • Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F) for deep frying.
    • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
    • Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  4. Prepare the Sambal Bawang:

    • In a food processor or blender, grind the red chilies and garlic together with salt and Royco seasoning to taste until smooth.
    • Heat a small amount of oil in a pan until hot and pour it over the chili-garlic mixture to make the sambal.
  5. Assemble the Dish:

    • Place the crispy fried chicken on a serving plate.
    • Gently smash or “penyet” the chicken with the back of a spoon or a pestle to slightly flatten it.
    • Top the chicken with the spicy sambal bawang.
  6. Serve:

    • Serve the Ayam Geprek hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful chicken with the spicy kick of sambal!

This recipe delivers a deliciously crispy chicken with a spicy sambal that packs a punch. Perfect for a satisfying meal that’s both comforting and exciting.
