Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Clean the chicken thoroughly, then make a few shallow cuts in the flesh to help the marinade penetrate deeply.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients—bouillon powder, chili powder, minced garlic, Ladaku seasoning powder, coriander powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 2 hours; for best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Prepare the Coating:
- In a large bowl, place the Kobe Fried Chicken Flour. For a spicier kick, mix in additional chili powder to taste.
- In a separate bowl, combine ice water, bouillon powder, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- Take the marinated chicken and dredge it in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s well-coated without pressing down too hard, to maintain a light, crispy texture.
- Dip the coated chicken into the ice water mixture to make it extra crispy. Then, recoat the chicken with the seasoned flour.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a frying pan over low heat. Fry the chicken, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to burn the chicken.
-
Prepare the Sambal:
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the sambal. In a mortar and pestle, grind the hot chili peppers and garlic with a pinch of salt and bouillon powder until smooth. Heat a small amount of oil until it’s hot and pour it over the sambal mixture.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and gently crush it using a pestle or the back of a spoon to release its juices.
- Spoon the freshly made sambal over the crushed chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
-
Serve:
- Serve your Ayam Geprek immediately while it’s still hot and crispy. Enjoy it with steamed rice or as a side dish.
