ayam goreng kremes

Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Short description: Ayam goreng kremes is fried chicken served with crunchy seasoned batter crumbs scattered over the top.
Ingredients: Spiced fried chicken with garlic, shallot, turmeric, coriander, galangal, rice flour, tapioca, coconut milk, and sambal.
Cultural note: The crumbs are not garnish alone; they add the brittle texture that separates this style from plain fried chicken.
Common misconception: Kremes refers to the crisp crumb topping, not a creamy sauce.
