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.
