Tonight's dinner selection:

[John Shaw]

I made home made Almond Chicken and fried rice last night. Forgot to take a pic, but Mel remembered to when she took leftovers to work. It was very tasty.

I wanna know how to make the yardbird!

Yessir. 

[John Shaw]

Yessir. 

Whole boneless chicken breasts.

Bisquick.

Eggs.

Corn starch.

Peanut oil.

Sesame oil.

Garlic powder.

Accent.

Salt.


Mix some Bisquick, 1 to 1 with water. Say, two cups each. Throw an egg in. Add some salt, MSG (Accent, whatever) and a good amount of garlic powder. Stir that shit up. It should be kinda thick.

Get your chicken, make sure to flatten it all out, and press it down a bit on something. Cover it with corn starch.

Heat up a wok or frying pan with peanut oil. Make sure it's pretty hot. Add some sesame oil for flavor. (Not absolutely necessary but it tastes good.)

Dip your corn starched chicken into the batter, get it really thick and gooey. Then drop it into your oil. Four minutes per side.

Take out and sit on paper towel for a minute or two. Then get a knife and press straight down, slicing it into one inch wide slices. The breading will stay on with no problem because the corn starch makes it stick. The corn starch also creates that semi gooey layer between the breading and meat, that almond chicken is known for.

Grind up some almonds into powder and sprinkle, if you like it.

Viola.

I read it right after you posted.  And then I went off and did some other junk.  Thank you very much though.

Sounds (and looks) good!  I want to try making it.

Bean soup.

Add a ham bone in kettle with that. Bake some homemade bread too.  Nothing like the smell of homemade bread on a cold day.

I live down the street from a bread factory that supplies a lot of local restaurants.  I love it
