- Cook Chicken: Heat a little oil in a pan over low heat. Cook the marinated chicken on all sides until golden brown and fully cooked. If the inside is still raw, cut into pieces and cook again.
- Prepare Sambal: Using the same pan, sauté garlic and red bird's eye chili briefly until fragrant but not fully cooked. Transfer to a mortar and pestle.
- Make Sambal and Combine: Add salt and optional MSG to the mortar, roughly pound the mixture. Add the cooked chicken and smash together to combine flavors.
