Spicy Ayam Geprek with Green Chili Sauce

Ayam Geprek Sambal Ijo Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg chicken (preferably chicken breast)
• 3/4 packet of ayam seasoning mix (or make your own seasoning mix)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 kg oil for frying

For the Sambal Ijo (Green Chili Sauce):

• 20 green bird’s eye chilies
• 3 large green chilies
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cm piece of ginger
• Salt and flavor enhancer to taste

For Serving:

• Cucumber slices
• Cooked pakcoy (Chinese cabbage)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Clean the chicken thoroughly and rub it with lime juice to remove any unpleasant odor.
   • Add the ayam seasoning mix to the chicken, mixing well. Add enough water to create a marinade. Let the chicken marinate until tender.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the marinated chicken until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove from the oil and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sambal Ijo:

   • Wash the green bird’s eye chilies, large green chilies, and garlic thoroughly.
   • Fry the green chilies, bird’s eye chilies, and garlic in a hot pan just until they are wilted (do not overcook).
   • Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the fried ingredients together. Add salt and flavor enhancer to taste.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Place the fried chicken into the bowl with the sambal ijo. Gently smash and mix the chicken with the sambal to ensure it is well coated.
   • Serve the Ayam Geprek Sambal Ijo with cucumber slices and cooked pakcoy on the side.
