Sambalicious~ Smelly Prawn Paste with Smelly Belachan Sambal Chili! Yummy!~ The first time I had Har Cheong Kai Burger was @ Everything with Fries on my Birthday this year. The pungent, umami juice from the well marinated chicken just burst in my mouth the moment i sunk my teeth into the burger. So flavourful, so crispy, so succulent, so yummy! I so wanna have this anytime I crave for it. Furthermore, with the help of air fryer, I can easily get a crispy and succulent Har Cheong Kai Burger without the splattering oil and a sticky, greasy kitchen To make it more Singaporean and zi char style, I've decided to top with sambal mayo as sambal chilli always goes very well with prawn paste chicken. Any store bought sambal will do. The amount of sambal added to the mayo very much depends on individual's tolerance level of spiciness.
Notes

Marinating Shrimp Paste Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, mix in all the marinades ingredient until combine
Add the chicken and ensure the chicken are evenly coated with the marinades.
Cover the bowl of chicken with cling wrap and put it in the chiller for at least 8 hours (the longer the better) or up to 48 hours.
*If you want to keep it for later use, put it in the freezer after 48 hours of marination and thaw when required.
