Prepare the ingredients

Ingredients for grilled chicken with salt and chili: 1 chicken weighing about 1.3 kg

Lemongrass, garlic, chili peppers, chili powder, chili sauce, cashew oil, fish sauce, broth powder, honey. Dried shrimp

Step 1: Prepare the chili sauce

Soak the dried shrimp for about 1 hour.

Put the prepared ingredients including lemongrass, garlic, chili peppers, dried shrimp, and coarse salt into a blender. Then, pour it into a bowl, add chili sauce, cashew oil, fish sauce, honey, and broth powder. Adjust the amount of honey and salt according to your family’s taste. Use honey to make the chicken sweet and tender, with crispy skin.

Mix this mixture evenly until it’s beautiful in color and aromatic.

Step 2: Marinate the chicken with the sauce

Spread the sauce on the chicken, both inside and outside. It is recommended to butterfly the chicken before grilling for better taste. Use plastic gloves to spread the sauce on the chicken and squeeze it to penetrate well. Marinate for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse evenly. You can marinate overnight in the refrigerator compartment.

Step 3: Grill the chicken

If you have a charcoal stove, clasp the chicken and grill it on the grill.

If you are using an oven, clasp the chicken and place it on a grilling tray, or wrap the chicken in foil and insert it into a baking sheet, set the temperature to 200°C for about 30 minutes. After the chicken is cooked, remove the foil, brush with another layer of chili powder, and grill for an additional 15 minutes for crispy skin.

Using an air fryer: Line the bottom of the fryer with foil, place the chicken on top and grill at a temperature of 180°C for about 10 minutes, then flip the chicken to grill the other side evenly.

The finished dish of grilled chicken with salt and chili is soft, fragrant, not dry, and has crispy and spicy skin.

Frequently asked questions

The key is to use a good amount of spices and to marinate the chicken for a sufficient amount of time. The spices used include salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, ensures that the flavors really penetrate the meat, resulting in a flavorful and juicy fried chicken.

The ingredients are boneless chicken thighs or breasts, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, flour, eggs, bread crumbs, oil for frying, and butter (optional). You will also need some common kitchen tools like a large skillet or pot, a plate, and a meat mallet or rolling pin.

First, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces or strips. Then, in a bowl, mix together the spices: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the spice mixture and coat them evenly. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs with a little bit of the spice mixture left over from marinating the chicken. Now, take each piece of marinated chicken and coat it first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg, and finally, coat it with the bread crumb mixture. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.

You can use any neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. Avoid using olive oil as it has a lower smoke point and can impart a strong flavor to the chicken.

Heat the oil to around 350°F (180°C). You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil – it should sizzle and turn golden brown within a few seconds. If the oil is too hot, it can burn the outside of the chicken before the inside is cooked. If it’s not hot enough, the chicken will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
