Ayam Geprek ‘Jessi’: A Spicy and Cheesy Fried Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 whole fried chicken
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 3 bird’s eye chilies
- 1 red chili
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Shredded cheddar cheese, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Garlic: Start by slicing the garlic cloves. Heat a pan over medium heat and briefly sauté the sliced garlic until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
-
Create the Chili Paste: In a blender or food processor, combine the onion, bird’s eye chilies, red chili, granulated sugar, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste. Add the previously sautéed garlic into the mixture and blend again until well incorporated.
-
Combine Ingredients: Place the fried chicken in a large bowl. Pour the chili paste over the chicken and gently pound or ‘geprek’ the chicken to ensure it is evenly coated with the spicy mixture.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, creating a deliciously cheesy layer.
-
Serve: Transfer the spicy, cheesy chicken to a serving plate and enjoy this delightful and flavorful dish.
