Nasi Ayam Penyet is a popular Indonesian dish featuring steamed rice served with crispy fried chicken that is gently smashed (penyet) to make it tender and juicy. The chicken is marinated with traditional spices and fried until golden brown, then served alongside a spicy sambal chili paste, fresh cucumber slices, and sometimes fried tofu or tempeh. This dish offers a perfect harmony of crunchy, spicy, and fresh flavors, making it a favorite comfort meal for many.
