Do not cut the thinned section from the rest of the breast meat. Pound both sides with back of cleaver. One side will be smoother than the other. Mix light soy, sherry, salt and white pepper together and mix in chicken meat. Set aside 20 minutes. Wash and drain lettuce. Shred. Finely chop toasted almonds. Make sauce: Mix 4 T. cornstarch and 3 T. water in saucepan until smooth. Gradually mix in broth, butter, soy sauce, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for about 1 minute; reduce heat and keep warm. Make batter: Beat together 3 T. cornstarch, flour, baking powder, egg, and water until smooth. Coat chicken with batter and cook 5-7 minutes in 375* oil until golden brown. Drain chicken on paper towels. Cut cooked chicken into strips, put on bed of shredded lettuce and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds and green onions. Spoon on sauce and serve with steamed or fried rice.

CRISPY FRIED ALMOND CHICKEN WITH GRAVY RECIPE - (3.8/5)

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.

Making almond fried chicken is a perfect dinner recipe for those who love crunchy foods and want to spice up their dinner. Almonds are a healthy ingredient that adds a nutty flavor and crunchiness to the chicken. Here are some valuable tips on making almond fried chicken recipes.1. Choosing the Right Chicken
When it comes to making almond fried chicken, choosing the right chicken is crucial in getting the perfect texture and taste. It's essential to choose fresh chicken and skinless chicken breasts. Skinless chicken breasts are the best choice because they are leaner and cook evenly.Avoid Frozen Chicken
It's best to avoid frozen chicken in this recipe because frozen chicken has a higher water content, which can result in a soggier coating. Also, the coating may not stick well to frozen chicken.2. Soak Chicken in Buttermilk
Soaking the chicken in buttermilk is a crucial step in this recipe because it adds flavor and makes the chicken tender. Buttermilk also helps the coating stick well to the chicken. You need to soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, but for the best results, it's best to soak it overnight.How to Make Buttermilk
You can make buttermilk by adding one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of milk. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, and your buttermilk is ready to use.3. Toast the Almonds
Toasting almonds in the oven or on the stove makes them more flavorful and crunchy, which adds a wonderful addition to the chicken. Toast the almonds in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or on the stove over low heat until golden brown.How to Toast Almonds
Spread the almonds evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet for the oven or in a pan on the stove. Bake or cook the almonds for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're golden brown.4. Use Panko Breadcrumbs
Panko breadcrumbs are perfect for almond fried chicken recipes because they're light, airy, and produce a crunchy texture. Panko breadcrumbs also make the coating crispier and more golden than using other breadcrumbs.What are Panko Breadcrumbs?
Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese breadcrumbs made from crustless white bread that's processed into larger and flakier flakes than traditional breadcrumbs.5. Fry the Chicken at the Right Temperature
Frying the chicken at the right temperature is crucial for getting the perfect texture and taste. Set the temperature of the oil at 350°F. Frying the chicken at a higher temperature will result in the burnt coating, while frying the chicken at a lower temperature will result in a soggy coating.How to Fry the Chicken
Coat the chicken in a mixture of flour, almond meal, and spices, then dip the chicken in the egg mixture, followed by coating it with panko breadcrumbs, and finally, place the chicken in the hot oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until it's golden brown.6. Let the Chicken Rest
After frying the chicken, allow it to rest on a paper towel-lined sheet pan for a few minutes. The resting period helps remove any excess oil and lets the coating adhere better to the chicken.How to Rest Chicken
Place the fried chicken on a paper towel-lined sheet pan to rest for about five minutes before serving.7. Serve with Your Favorite Sauce
After making almond fried chicken, serve it with your favorite sauce to enhance its flavor. Some options could be barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.How to Make Ranch Dressing
