Kalasan Fried Chicken

 (Ayam Goreng Kalasan)

Kalasan is an area near  Yogyakarta, Central of Java. This Ayam Goreng Kalasan is the famous fried from that region. It tastes sweet yet very crispy.  If you are big fan of Chicken like me, I suggest making it by yourself instead of buying fast food product. It's healthier and cheaper.
