Spicy Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 shallots, peeled and minced
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sugar, to taste
- Red chili peppers, to taste (adjust based on your spice preference)
- Hot sauce, to taste
- 6 chicken drumsticks (or chicken thighs)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by finely chopping the red chili peppers, shallots, and garlic cloves until you achieve a smooth paste. Set aside.
-
Slice the Onion: Slice the large onion into thin rings or strips.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken drumsticks until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the pan and set aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, remove excess oil if needed, and add the chili paste along with the sliced onion. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
-
Season the Sauce: Add salt, black pepper, sugar, and hot sauce to the pan. Adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences. Stir to combine.
-
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the fried chicken to the pan. Add a small amount of water to help the sauce coat the chicken evenly. Stir well to ensure that the chicken is fully covered with the spicy mixture.
-
Simmer and Adjust: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is well-coated and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy!
