2. Prepare the Spice Mix:

   • In a mortar and pestle or blender, grind the galangal, turmeric, and garlic until smooth.

3. Simmer the Chicken:

   • In a large pot, add the ground spice mix to 800 ml of water along with Royco chicken seasoning and salt.
   • Bring to a boil, then add the chicken pieces. Simmer the chicken until it is tender and fully cooked. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

4. Drain the Chicken:

   • Once the chicken is cooked and tender, remove it from the pot and drain well.

5. Prepare the Kremes Batter:

   • From the simmering liquid, take about 500 ml of the broth and let it cool until warm, but not hot.
   • In a large bowl, mix the warm broth with tapioca flour and egg. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

6. Fry the Kremes:

   • Heat the cooking oil in a wok or deep pan over medium-high heat.
   • Using a ladle, pour the kremes batter into the hot oil, moving the ladle in a circular motion to create a thin, crispy layer around the edge of the pan.
   • Fry the kremes until they start to turn golden brown.

7. Fry the Chicken:

   • Place the drained chicken pieces into the center of the hot oil with the kremes. Let it cook until the kremes is partially crispy and starts to turn yellow.
   • Gently coat the chicken with the kremes by flipping and turning it until the coating is golden brown and crispy.

8. Serve:

   • Remove the ayam kremes from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful chicken with your favorite side dishes.

Tips

• For the best results, ensure that the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
• Adjust the seasoning to your taste if needed. Feel free to experiment with additional spices for a personalized touch.
