Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Whisk sambal, ginger, lime juice, sugar, 1 tbsp oil, and salt until smooth.
Step 2
Brush sambal mixture all over chicken. Let sit 5 minutes while you heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high.
Step 3
Oil the grill grates. Lay chicken skin-side down, don't move it, for 6 minutes until skin crisps and darkens.
Step 4
Flip chicken. Cook 6–8 minutes more until internal temp hits 165°F and meat pulls from the bone easily.
Step 5
Warm 1 tbsp oil in a small skillet over medium. Fry shallots until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Plate rice, top with chicken, scatter crispy shallots on top, and serve hot with additional sambal on the side.
