Ayam Penyet (Indonesia)


  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 4 glasses of water
  • 4 tablespoons of oil (for frying)
  • Salt (to taste)

For the Spicy Sauce:

  • 5 hot peppers (you can adjust the amount optionally)
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • Salt (to taste)

For service:

  • Pilaf or nasi goreng (spicy rice)
  • Fresh vegetables (eg cucumber, tomato, lettuce)
  • lemon slices

Wash the chicken pieces and place them in the glass of water. Add enough water to cover it and bring it to a boil. Stew for about 30-40 minutes until the chickens are fully cooked.

Take the boiled chicken and drain the water. Mash the chickens by tamping lightly on a flat surface. Make sure you crush each piece evenly.

Heat the oil in a Teflon pan. Fry the mashed chicken in hot oil until golden on both sides. Place the fried chicken on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

For the spicy sauce, mash the hot peppers and garlic through the rind. Take the mashed pepper and garlic mixture in a bowl. Add soy sauce, lemon juice, honey or brown sugar and salt and mix. Make adjustments to taste or spice up the sauce.

Place the fried chicken on a serving platter. Pour the spicy sauce you prepared on it.

Serve Ayam Penyet with rice or nasi goreng. Serve alongside garnished with fresh vegetables and lemon wedges.

ENJOY YOUR MEAL
