CRISPY FRIED ALMOND CHICKEN WITH GRAVY RECIPE - (3.8/5)
Provided by gmasusan
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- First toast the chopped almonds in a wok until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside and give the wok a wipe with a dry towel as you'll be using it to fry later. In a small saucepan bring the 1 1/2 cups of water for the sauce to the boil. Add the frozen chicken strips and lightly boil with the lid on for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon or a couple of forks and drain on a clean kitchen towel. Do not dump the water! Add the vegan butter and soy sauce to the chicken stock and heat until the butter melts then turn off the heat. In another saucepan mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water until smooth then slowly add the chicken soy stock until all is added. Heat and stir until thick and glossy. Check seasoning, turn off heat and set aside. In a small bowl add the cornflour, baking powder, xanthan gum and whisk. Add the water and vegetable oil and whisk really well until it is smooth and really thick. Toss the drained chicken strips into some more cornflour, then coat them in the batter then into the breadcrumbs. It's easiest to have one hand for the batter and the other hand for the breadcrumbs here. Keep going until all the strips are coated and place them on a plate ready to fry. Heat about an inch or two of vegetable oil in the wok you used to toast the almonds until it is very hot. Gently place the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until crisp and golden on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is fried. Reheat the gravy and give it a whisk- if it has thickened too much, you can also add a bit more water. Place some shredded lettuce on a plate, top with the fried chicken then spoon over the gravy generously. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken: This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken: This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken.
- Use a high-quality oil for frying: Olive oil or avocado oil are both good choices.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides: This chicken is delicious served with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Almond fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy, flavorful coating. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
