Upgrade Your Leftovers! Smashed Fried Chicken with Sambal Escapism Cooking with Mandy Lee

SMASHED FRIED CHICKEN WITH CHILES:
In this episode of Escapism Cooking, Mandy Lee spices up leftover store bought fried chicken with a blend of charred chiles and aromatics for a quick and deliciously spicy meal.

"I once saw a video of a food stall in Indonesia doing this and immediately needed it to be a part of my life. Having said that, I adapted it heavily from its original form. Think of this more as a technique than a precise recipe, because much of it depends on your taste and the type of chiles you have access to. A meaty pepper variety like jalapeo will give you milder heat and more roasted pepper flavor. A variety with thin flesh, like Thai birds eye or Scotch bonnet, will provide a more intense kick and a sharper, aromatic chile aroma. But once you find your own sweet spot, this will become an addictive little treat that youll crave again and again." ~Mandy
