Ayam Geprek (Smashed Fried Chicken with Sambal)

Crispy fried chicken with a generous dose of sambal never, ever gets boring in Asia. This famous Ayam Geprek from Yogyakarta will make even the most seasoned veterans of spice break into a sweat over the red-hot levels of heat. Tone it down if needed so that you can still feel your tongue and lips afterwards. After all, there are still plenty of crunchy golden bits to enjoy in between bites of juicy smashed chicken. An optional cheesy topping balances out the heat with its creaminess while adding an addictive sticky, oozy layer that’s a treat for both the eyes and taste buds.
