Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg chicken (cut into small pieces, as desired)
- 1 cup Sajiku flour (spicy variety recommended)
- 1 large egg
- For the sambal:
- 5 shallots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 large red chilies
- 7 bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
- Sugar, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Cooking oil, for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, adjusting to your preference.
- In a bowl, beat the egg and dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Dredge the egg-coated chicken pieces in Sajiku flour, making sure they are well-coated.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Make the Sambal:
- In the same pan, lightly fry the shallots, garlic cloves, red chilies, and bird’s eye chilies until they are just half-cooked. This will help release their flavors.
- Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, coarsely grind the fried ingredients. The sambal should be somewhat chunky, not smooth.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Mix the fried chicken with the freshly made sambal, tossing gently to coat the chicken evenly.
- Serve hot with steamed rice and additional fresh vegetables, if desired.
