Spicy Indonesian Ayam Geprek with Kosek Sambal

Ingredients

• 2 to 4 pieces of fried chicken (I used Kemiri fried chicken)
• 9 to 15 red bird’s eye chilies
• 5 to 7 green bird’s eye chilies
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon leftover hot oil from frying the chicken

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sambal:

   • In a mortar and pestle (cobek), combine the red and green bird’s eye chilies, salt, and garlic. Grind coarsely to create a sambal paste.
   • Heat the leftover oil from frying the chicken and pour it over the sambal mixture. Stir well to combine.

2. Assemble the Dish:

   • Place the fried chicken pieces onto a serving plate.
   • Gently smash or crush the chicken into the sambal using the back of a spoon or a similar tool. Ensure the sambal is spread over and around the chicken.
   • Spoon additional sambal over the top of the chicken.

3. Serve:

   • This sambal will keep its flavor for an entire day and adds a delicious kick to your fried chicken.

Enjoy the rich, spicy flavor of this traditional Indonesian dish!
