What is this chicken

I've eaten it, and in Malaysia we called it ayam goreng, but even then we knew it wasn't really ayam goreng. Good luck with this..... 
Is the golden-brown irregular stuff on top of the chicken some kind of fried crust? Because going solely by the picture, your description of it as 'chicken', (and my in-depth knowledge of fried food) I'd call it 'deep fried chicken in some kind of batter'. The batter is probably very thin, to form such thin flakes. But, if it was something thin and flaky that was fried onto the chicken (like corn flakes, say), that would probably have been crushed into little pieces for better adhesion. So, it looks like a thin batter that was dripping off the chicken when it was fried.
Yeah, in English, I'd go with 'Deep fried battered chicken'. If you want it for a fancy menu, 'Organic, free-range chicken in a golden crust'. I have no idea how a fancy French restaurant would describe it.

I reckon it looks like deep fried chicken. Not sure if it's got any other name in the UK.
With all due respect, I wouldn't be ordering it at the chippy!

According to google: Ayam kremes is a popular fried chicken dish.
So, yeah - Indonesian Fried Chicken.

Googling followed by "translate this page" comes up with . . . chicken kremes.
From this recipe, it looks like a spiced fried parboiled chicken (and it looks wonderful!).
"Further shake it loose egg" has to be one of the best cooking instructions ever.
ETA: Some translations come up as "Kremesan chicken." That sounds like a winner of a name to me.

A semi-local restaurant I am sometimes dragged to...
Okay, I like the place, but they love to kill Americans with sriracha sauce. Anyway, they serve a dish called Indonesia Chicken that sure looks like this. It's crunchy but, for me, not a dish I love. But then, I'm your basic Southern Fried Chicken boy. Colonel Harland Sanders does it right. Not in those silly red and white drive through places bastardized by a former governor, but in the family's restaurant outside Louisville, KY. Claudia Sanders Dinner House.
Sadly, the Colonel is no longer with us.

That's why you never use Google Translate, the instruction actually said "Then, loosely shake the egg".
Yeah Kremesan chicken sounds pretty good, but i'll probably have to invoke food porn in order to be able to describe it in the novel
