• 1 kg chicken thighs and wings
• 10 cloves garlic
• 4 shallots
• 1 tomato
• 10 bird’s eye chilies
• 1/4 lime
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 cm galangal (laos)
• 2 packets ground black pepper (such as Ladaku brand)
• 1 packet beef-flavored seasoning (such as Masako)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• 100 ml sweet soy sauce (such as Kecap Bangau)
• Cooking oil, as needed
• Water, as needed

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken thighs and wings. Place them in a pot and add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Add salt to taste during the cooking process.

2. Sauté Aromatics: While the chicken is simmering, peel and crush the garlic. Slice the shallots thinly. In a separate pan, heat a little cooking oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, sliced shallots, bay leaves, and galangal. Sauté until the shallots become translucent and aromatic.

3. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Stir to mix the flavors. Add the sweet soy sauce, lime juice, beef-flavored seasoning, and ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.

4. Simmer and Flavor: Continue to cook the chicken, allowing the soy sauce and spices to penetrate the meat. Add the sliced tomato and whole bird’s eye chilies to the pan. Pour in a little of the remaining chicken broth from the initial boiling to maintain moisture and enhance the flavor. Let it simmer until the sauce is well absorbed and the chicken is tender.

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or seasoning if desired. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the flavors are well balanced, remove from heat.

6. Serve: Transfer the Semur Ayam Rica Rica to a serving dish. Garnish as desired and serve hot with steamed rice for a delightful family meal.
