Indonesian Ayam Penyet is a beloved Indonesian fried chicken dish known for its crispy exterior, tender meat, and fiery sambal. Originating from East Java, Ayam Penyet literally means "smashed chicken," referring to the technique of lightly pressing the freshly fried chicken before serving to make it extra tender and allow it to absorb the spicy sambal. The chicken is first simmered in aromatic spices, then deep-fried until golden and crispy before being served with sambal, steamed rice, fried tofu, tempeh, cucumber, and fresh vegetables. This flavorful dish is a favorite across Indonesia and is perfect for lunch or dinner.
