What? Flattened chicken? Yes, that’s what Ayam Penyet is. Large pieces of chicken are smashed with a mallet to allow the marinade of many spices to permeate thoroughly. The chicken is then deep-fried to a crisp golden brown. It’s originally Indonesian but has taken Singapore by storm in the past few years. Ayam penyet is usually served with lots of crispy batter, fried bean curd, tempeh (soybean cake) and vegetables. The real star is the delicious sambal belachan relish that’s an explosion of complex flavors.
It's not an ordinary chicken dish, it's a product of the cultural melange of Chinese, Indian and Malay cuisine in Singapore!
