For the Chicken:

• 6 pieces of chicken wings

For the Ground Spice Blend:

• 1-inch piece of turmeric
• 5 shallots
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 candlenuts
• Black pepper to taste
• 1-inch piece of ginger
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 kaffir lime leaves

For the Sambal Geprek:

• 15 Java chili peppers (or substitute with other small hot chilies)
• 3 shallots
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt to taste
• Seasoning (e.g., chicken bouillon) to taste
• Sugar to taste
• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Clean the chicken wings thoroughly.

2. Cook the Spice Blend:

   • In a pan, heat a bit of oil. Sauté the ground spice blend ingredients (turmeric, shallots, garlic, candlenuts, black pepper, ginger, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves) until fragrant and slightly dry.
   • Add the chicken wings to the pan, along with a small amount of water. Season with salt, seasoning powder, and sugar.
   • Simmer until the chicken is tender and the spices are well absorbed.

3. Fry the Chicken:

   • Remove the chicken from the pan and let it drain. Heat oil in a separate pan and fry the chicken wings until golden brown and crispy.

4. Prepare the Sambal Geprek:

   • In a pan, heat some oil and fry the Java chilies, shallots, and garlic until they are softened.
   • Transfer the fried ingredients to a mortar and pestle, add salt, seasoning powder, and sugar, and grind until the sambal is finely mixed but still slightly coarse.

5. Assemble the Dish:

   • Add a small amount of hot oil from frying the chicken to the sambal to enhance the flavor.
   • Place the fried chicken wings on a serving plate and gently crush (geprek) them to allow the sambal to seep in.
   • Spread the sambal over the chicken wings and mix gently to ensure the sambal is well incorporated.

6. Serve:

   • Enjoy your Ayam Geprek Jeletot while it’s hot. This dish is perfect with steamed rice and a side of fresh vegetables.

Happy cooking! 😊
