Ingredients

  • 65g chicken fillet
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 5 bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
  • 1 red chili
  • Crispy chicken flour (Kobe brand or similar)
  • Cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Begin by taking the chicken fillet and seasoning it with a pinch of black pepper. Coat the chicken with crispy flour, dip it in water, and then coat it with crispy flour again. This double coating will give the chicken a nice, crispy texture.

  2. Fry the Chicken:
    Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken into the oil. Fry the chicken until the coating turns a golden brown. Be sure to maintain a medium heat to avoid burning the coating while ensuring the chicken cooks thoroughly.

  3. Prepare the Sambal:
    While the chicken is frying, wash the garlic, bird’s eye chilies, and red chili thoroughly. In a separate pan, heat some oil and fry the garlic and chilies until they are fragrant and cooked through.

  4. Make the Sambal:
    Once the garlic and chilies are cooked, use a mortar and pestle to grind them into a coarse paste. Add a little of the hot oil from the frying pan and some seasoning to taste.

  5. Combine and Serve:
    After the chicken is crispy and golden, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Combine the chicken with the sambal and gently smash or “geprek” the chicken with the sambal to mix well.

  6. Serve:
    Serve your Ayam Geprek Brutal hot, alongside warm rice and fresh cucumber slices. Enjoy this crispy, spicy delight with its irresistible sambal topping!
