Spicy Sensation: Geprek Fried Chicken in Red Chili Sauce

Dear Culinary Lovers...!

After a few months ago I shared a recipe about Spicy Sensation of Quail Egg & Green Chili Tempe, today I'm back with a post related to dishes with spicy sensations, this dish is one of the types of culinary trends that are currently trending in Indonesia, but has a slightly different taste because the dominance of spicy and garlic gives extraordinary pleasure.

This dish is my request to my wife who has a hobby of cooking and tries to modify various recipes that she knows from Instagram content. I deliberately asked to add a spicy sensation and add garlic, when you try to approach this menu, you will smell the delicious aroma of garlic.

This food is rich in nutrients, for example garlic contains nutrients that are important for the body such as carbohydrates, protein, fiber, vitamin C and most importantly is rich in antioxidants, thus encouraging the creation of immunity, then chicken also contains lots of protein and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and B vitamins that the body needs.

Cooking Ingredients

To prepare this menu, there are things that need to be prepared, namely the chicken and the chili sauce. Here I show the ingredients.

First I will show you the ingredients needed for geprek chicken, the ingredients consist of chicken cut into 9 parts, then fried chicken powder, the third is crushed garlic.

The second is the ingredients for preparing the sauce, along with some of the ingredients needed such as red chilies, tomatoes and garlic. We only need to prepare these 3 ingredients to prepare the sauce, besides that you need cooking oil for sautéing, salt for flavoring, and one clove of shallot for sauteing.

How to cook

1. Chicken Frying Stage

---

I will explain the first step in preparing geprek chicken, to get a delicious chicken taste it is expected to grind the garlic finely, then put the grind together with fried chicken powder (I bought ready-made spices on the market) with the chicken that has been cut into 9 parts. stir until smooth so that the seasoning absorbs into the chicken meat.

Now, picture 1 shows the chicken that has been mixed with flour, to get a tasty and crispy chicken, each piece of chicken is kneaded in the flour and left for a moment, repeat several times so that the consistency of the chicken becomes soft, if necessary before mixing with flour.

---

Put the chicken that has been in picture 1 into the warm water, leave it for a few seconds and then put it back into the pan containing the flour earlier, stir again until evenly distributed. The goal is to give a savory and crunchy taste after the chicken is fried.

---

In this third stage, the chicken is fried until cooked, watch the frying carefully, don't let it burn and let one side of the chicken completely cook, then try to reverse the position of the chicken so that the top is also cooked perfectly.

2. Sauce Preparation

---

To prepare the sauce, we must first saute the ingredients that I have shown above, for example tomatoes, red chilies and garlic. the ingredients are chopped before sautéing. The sauteing process is only done for a moment, don't let the color of these ingredients change, remove after 2 minutes and follow the next process.

After the tomatoes, red chilies and garlic are sauteed, put them in a mortar and pestle, grind the ingredients until they are completely smooth, add salt and a little sugar, some people will add lime, but I only use salt and sugar.

---

The final step is to sauté, after grinding until smooth, heat the cooking oil and put the sauce in the pan to sauté, the goal is to make the sauce taste more savory and can be consumed for several hours, but if the sauteing process is not done this sauce will get stale quickly and will taste very spicy.

Sauté until completely cooked, to see if it's cooked, you can see the color change and the oil will separate from the sauce. Put it on the plate.

Hmm... Nyummi....!! Chicken Geprek Spicy Sensation can be enjoyed, you can eat it straight away or you can eat it with rice. The spicy taste is really felt, most importantly this food contains high nutritional value and the price is also very economical.

In Indonesia, this food is very popular and can be found anywhere. To get 1 portion of Geprek chicken + rice, you only pay for IDR. 13,000 (4.3 Steem), but if you buy it at a restaurant you have to pay up to IDR.35,000 per portion.
