Ayam Penyet Homemade
Ingredients
- 1 fried chicken (whole or pieces)
For the Penyet Sauce:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 5 bird’s eye chilies (cabai rawit)
- 2 cm lesser galangal (cikur)
- Salt and seasoning (such as Royco) to taste
Steps
-
Fry the Chicken: Begin by frying the chicken until it is fully cooked and has a crispy, golden exterior. Once done, set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the chicken is frying, start preparing the Penyet sauce.
- Using a mortar and pestle, finely crush the garlic, bird’s eye chilies, and lesser galangal until a smooth paste forms.
-
Combine the Sauce and Chicken:
- Once the chicken is done frying, take about 2 tablespoons of the hot oil used for frying and mix it into the crushed spice paste. This will create a flavorful, aromatic Penyet sauce.
-
Penyet the Chicken:
- In a large bowl or plate, combine the fried chicken with the prepared sauce. Using the back of a spoon or a pestle, press down (penyet) the chicken into the sauce, ensuring it gets well coated and slightly mashed to absorb the flavors.
