Ayam Blenger PSP

A legend among chiliheads in the capital, Ayam Blenger PSP is famed for serving perhaps the spiciest ayam geprek in Jakarta. They offer spice levels from 1 to 10, and in a boast that has terrified many, the brand claims to use about 10 chili peppers just for level 1 – with exponentially more for higher levels. 😅

The chicken itself is tasty and tender, but it's the sheer burn of their sambal that keeps daredevils coming. Despite operating only two outlets (in West Jakarta), they are constantly packed with loyal fans seeking that endorphin rush.

The sambal's flavor hasn't been sacrificed for heat; it's pungent, garlicky, and addictive (if you can handle it). Ayam Blenger PSP may not be a nationwide chain, but its reputation is countrywide due to media coverage of its "level 10" challenge. It's often on Jakarta's top spicy food lists and maintains respectable user ratings (~4.1★ on Google) considering the extreme niche it serves.
