In a mixing bowl or mortar and pestle, smash the fried chicken until pulverized into large chunks. Spoon enough sauce on top to coat generously and stir and smash until thoroughly combined. Stir in more sauce, if desired. Serve on rice.

Sambal-Smashed Fried Chicken

Smashing the chicken increases the surface area for the sauce to cling to. The results are crispy and tender bits, all of it loaded with flavor.

Smashing also breaks up the chicken fibers, further tenderizing it.
