Crispy Spicy Indonesian Chicken (Ayam Geprek Tepung)

Ayam Geprek Tepung

Ingredients:

• 1/4 chicken breast fillet
• Crispy coating flour
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 clove shallot
• 15 bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
• Salt
• Sugar
• Royco seasoning (or any chicken seasoning powder)

Steps:

1. Heat the Oil: Start by heating a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan, enough to fully submerge the chicken for frying.

2. Prepare the Sambal: While the oil is heating, roughly pound the bird’s eye chilies, garlic, and shallot using a mortar and pestle. Add a pinch of salt, a bit of sugar, and a sprinkle of Royco seasoning. To this mixture, add two tablespoons of the hot oil from the frying pan. This will help to blend the flavors and slightly cook the ingredients, giving the sambal a rich taste.

3. Prepare the Coating: Get the crispy coating flour ready. It’s best to use a brand you trust for its flavor and texture; it should give a nice crunch to the chicken.

4. Coat the Chicken: Dip the chicken breast fillet into a wet batter (this can be water mixed with a bit of the crispy flour to form a slurry). Then, coat the chicken thoroughly with the dry crispy flour mixture. Ensure every part of the chicken is evenly covered for maximum crunch.

5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry until the chicken turns a beautiful golden brown and is cooked through. This should take around 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

6. Serve with Sambal: Once the chicken is cooked, place it directly onto a mortar (cobek) or a sturdy cutting board. Using the pestle or the back of a heavy knife, gently press (geprek) the chicken to flatten it slightly and let the juices mix with the sambal. Spoon the sambal mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated.

7. Final Touch: For an authentic experience, serve your Ayam Geprek Tepung with a side of steamed rice and a few fresh cucumber slices. The crispy, spicy, and savory flavors will make this dish a new favorite in your kitchen.
