Ayam Goreng Suharti
No. 13The one piece to order
Ayam goreng kampung with the crisp kremesan crumbs, sambal and raw vegetables
TasteAtlas's top-rated ayam goreng: free-range chicken simmered in spices, then fried, from the recipe Bu Suharti began selling in the 1950s.
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.
