Spicy Indonesian Crushed Chicken with Garlic Chili Sauce

Ingredients

• Chicken and Coating:

  • 1 pack of chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • 1 pack of all-purpose seasoned flour
  • 1 egg

• Sambal Bawang:

  • 15 bird’s eye chilies
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Seasoning powder

Steps

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

2. Egg Mixture:

   • In a bowl, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to taste.

3. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Submerge the chicken pieces in the egg mixture and let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. Coat the Chicken:

   • Take each piece of marinated chicken and coat it evenly with the all-purpose seasoned flour. Ensure each piece is thoroughly covered for a crispy texture.

5. Fry the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the coated chicken pieces until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

6. Prepare the Sambal Bawang:

   • In a separate pan, lightly fry the bird’s eye chilies and garlic cloves until they are fragrant and slightly softened.
   • Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the fried chilies and garlic. Add a pinch of sugar, salt, and seasoning powder to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.

7. Combine and Serve:

   • Place the fried chicken pieces in the mortar with the sambal bawang and gently press them with the pestle to slightly crush and mix them with the sambal.
   • Serve the Ayam Geprek with hot steamed rice and cucumber slices for a refreshing side.
