About this dish

Ayam geprek (Javanese: ꦥꦶꦠꦶꦏ꧀ꦒꦼꦥꦿꦺꦏ꧀, romanized: pitik geprèk, lit. 'crushed chicken') is Indonesian crispy battered fried chicken crushed and mixed with hot and spicy sambal. Currently, ayam geprek is commonly found in Indonesia and neighbouring countries; however, its origin was from Yogyakarta in Java. Geprek is the Javanese term for "crushed" or "smashed", thus ayam geprek means "crushed chicken". It is quite similar to the traditional East Javanese ayam penyet, as both consist of fried chicken that is smashed and mixed with hot and spicy sambal chili paste.
