Ayam geprek

Ayam geprek is a traditional chicken dish originating from Yogyakarta in Java. The dish is similar to American fried chicken, and it's usually made with a combination of chicken, eggs, flour, paprika, salt, pepper, oil, and sambal. The chicken is sliced, seasoned with salt and pepper, dredged in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and fried in oil until golden and crispy. Once done, the crispy chicken is placed on top of sambal chili paste, and it's then crushed with a rolling pin or a pestle. The dish is typically served with steamed rice and vegetables on the side. There are also new variations on the dish, with added mozzarella cheese or fried cabbage.
