Best Garys Strange Flavored Chicken Recipes

STRANGE FLAVOR CHICKEN (BANG BANG CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Cut the scallions into sections and then slice these lengthwise into thin slivers. Put them into a bowl of cold water to refresh.
• Whisk the sugar and salt in the soy sauce and vinegar until dissolved. Gradually whisk in the sesame paste to make a smooth sauce. Add the sesame oil, chili oil, and ground Sichuan pepper and mix well. You should yield about ½ cup of strange flavor sauce.
• Cut the chicken into slivers about ½ inch wide (if you want to be really authentic, hit it a few times with a rolling pin or wooden dowel to loosen the fibers and then tear the flesh into shreds by hand).
• Shortly before serving, drain the scallions and pile them neatly in the center of your serving dish. Lay the chicken slivers on top of them, then pour the prepared sauce over the top. Finally, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND GRAVY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to low heat.
• In a bowl, add the lemon juice, sugar or honey, parsley, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Stir to combine. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the dressing, turn to coat and let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet, broiler, grill or grill pan. Shake off excess marinade and cook the chicken for 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board, let rest for a few minutes and slice on an angle.
• While the chicken marinades and cooks, add the butter to a sauce pot over medium heat. When the butter melts, stir in the flour, cook 1 minute, then whisk in the stock. Cook until thickened to a light gravy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with black pepper, remove from the heat and stir in the Dijon.
• While the chicken cooks, crisp the bread in the warm oven.
• Cut the bread into 4 portions and split or halve. Use tongs to dip the sliced chicken in the gravy and fill the rolls. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
