Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Curry Ketchup image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups ground pretzels
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, curry powder and fennel pollen. Set aside to let the flavors relax as you prepare the chicken.
  • Slice the chicken breasts at a slight angle, about 1/3-inch thick, making 4-inch-long chicken fingers. Place the flour, eggs and pretzel crumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Season the flour and egg each with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Working one at a time, dip the chicken fingers in the flour, then in the egg and, lastly, in the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan. When hot, add half of the chicken fingers -- the chicken should begin to sizzle gently when it hits the pan. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken fingers, wiping out the pan between uses.
  • Serve warm with the curry ketchup for dipping.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH KETCHUP



Stir-Fried Chicken With Ketchup image

I learned about the genesis of this dish from Suvir Saran, an Indian chef in New York. This dish is Manchurian in origin and is based on an ingredient that is in almost every refrigerator. It's stir-fried chicken with ketchup, and before you turn your nose up, think how good ketchup can taste. In the version he cooked for me, Mr. Saran tossed cauliflower in a slurry of cornstarch and egg, then deep-fried it. The crust was exquisite, and the cauliflower perfectly cooked. But it was what happened next that really got my attention: He finished the cauliflower in a sauce, made in about three minutes, containing nothing more than ketchup, garlic and cayenne pepper.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, preferably dark meat, in 1/2- to 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup flour, more as needed
4 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons slivered garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Toss chicken with flour so that it is lightly dusted. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to high. When oil smokes, add chicken in one layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • When chicken browns on one side, toss it and cook until just about done: smaller pieces will take 5 minutes total, larger pieces about 10. Remove to a plate. Turn off heat and let pan cool for a moment.
  • Add remaining oil to pan and turn heat to medium high. Add garlic and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add ketchup and stir; cook until ketchup bubbles, then darkens slightly. Return chicken to pan and stir to coat with sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve.

CASHEW CHICKEN FINGERS WITH CURRY MAYONNAISE



Cashew Chicken Fingers With Curry Mayonnaise image

Crispy chicken fingers coated with cashews dipped in spicy curry mayonnaise - yum!! This will serve 4 person as an appetizer, although we did polish off everything between the both of us! NOTE: Measure the cashews before chopping them (I use the PULSE button on my Tefal grinder). I find it's easier to use a pair of chopsticks to roll the chicken in chopped nuts, then transfer to baking pan.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (approximately)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (approximately)
200 g chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips (approx 2 pcs)
1 egg
1/2 cup roasted salted cashews (crushed or finely chopped)
2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 -2 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon crushed roasted cashews
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the first 7 ingredients together in a shallow plate/bowl/ziplock bag; mix well.
  • Coat the chicken strips with the flour mixture by placing them into the ziplock bag and shaking it, or using chopsticks to dredge them in the plate.
  • Lightly beat the egg (I put it in a wide soup bowl/plate; it's easier for dipping).
  • Shaking off excess flour, dip the chicken fingers in the beaten egg.
  • Immediately, roll the chicken in the crushed cashews to coat; set the nut-coated chicken onto lightly oiled baking pan.
  • Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • You may now bake the chicken fingers or chill it in the fridge for a few hours until you're ready to cook (chilling may help the coating to adhere better).
  • Just before baking, drizzle melted butter/oil over chicken and bake in preheated oven at 400°F / 210°C for 10-15mins, until cooked through and golden brown.
  • To make sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
  • You may also serve the chicken fingers with ketchup or sweet Thai chili sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooked white rice, for serving
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Whisk together the ketchup, curry powder and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs and toss until they are completely coated in the ketchup mixture.
  • Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and spoon over the remaining marinade to make sure that a thick even layer of the ketchup mixture remains on the skin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Roast until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the ketchup mixture begins to caramelize, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken over cooked white rice and garnish with the cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your chicken fingers and curried ketchup are as flavorful as possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken fingers are best when they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make sure the curried ketchup is smooth: If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor or immersion blender to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Serve the chicken fingers and curried ketchup immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
