Smashed fried chicken with sambal (Ayam penyet) from Coconut & Sambal: Recipes from My Indonesian Kitchen (page 142) by Lara Lee

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Turmeric pickle (Acar kunyit); Crispy soy and ginger roast potatoes (Kentang kecap dan jahe); Tomato sambal (Sambal tomat); Sulawesi rica-rica chilli sauce (Rica-rica Sulawesi)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Great flavour but the sambal recipe is not authentic - it has mint and coriander leaves in it, neither of which are used in Indonesia. More like an Indian chutney. Leave out those and you have a great recipe!

    Made this recipe alongside the tomato sambal for dinner with a group of friends a couple years ago and still think about it. So so good!
