Addictive Homemade Fried Chicken with Shallot Chili Sauce

Ingredients (4 servings)

Crispy Chicken: 4 chicken pieces, 200g all-purpose flour, 50g rice flour, 1 egg, seasonings (garlic powder, salt, white pepper).

Shallot Chili Sauce: 15 bird's eye chilies, 5 curly red chilies, 8 shallots, 5 garlic cloves, salt, sugar, 3 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp crispy fried shallots.

Method

Step 1 — Marinate: Season the chicken with spices and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2 — Crispy Coating: Mix the dry flour ingredients. Dip chicken in egg, coat in flour mixture. Rest 10 minutes before frying.

Step 3 — Fry: Medium-high heat, 8–10 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 4 — Sambal: Coarsely pound chilies and shallots. Sauté until fully cooked and fragrant (8–10 minutes). Add salt and sugar. Turn off heat, stir in crispy fried shallots — this is the secret!

Step 5 — Serve: Place chicken on a mortar or plate, add sambal on top, smash together. Serve with rice and fresh vegetables.
