Indonesian Fried Chicken With Crumbs (Ayam Goreng Kremes) & Giveaway Result

This fried chicken is extremely yummy. With the additonal yummy crumbs, it's just so finger licking good with a bowl of hot fluffy rice :)
I still need to master how to fry the crumbs properly. Mine was still shattered into small pieces. It should be cumbled together in one piece, thin and crispy with small little holes
It requires lots of cooking oil, right temperature and high level of patience to wait for it to be cooked and the precise time to take it out from the oil
Oh, and also please remember to clear the surrounding area, the oil will splatter everywhere!
As for the chicken, it's pretty straight forward

Recipe is from an Indonesian recipe book: "Masak Mudah & Lezat" by Sisca Soewitomo

Here it is:

10 cloves of garlic
8 candlenuts, sliced and fry without oil for awhile

3. After done, drain chicken, and leave the soup in the pressure cooker pot
4. In a hot oil, deep fry the chicken til golden brown, drain

For the crumbs:
