Make it at home
Ayam goreng Kalasan with kremesan crumbs and sambal
1 hr simmer, 30 min to fry · 4, with rice. Java's fried chicken is cooked twice: simmered first in a turmeric, galangal and candlenut spice broth until it's seasoned to the bone, then fried briefly for a dark, crisp skin. The leftover broth becomes kremesan, a lacy crisp crumble to scatter on top.
