Chinese Style Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the tenderloins from the breasts. Between sheets of plastic wrap, pound the thicker side of the breast to make it more even in thickness. Season the chicken with salt. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins. Saute for about 4 to 5 minutes. You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side.) Saute on the other side 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken to a plate. Deglaze the pan with the garlic and Chinese 5-spice powder and add the broth and hoisin mixture. Boil down covered until thick and glossy. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the butter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the scallions and cilantro on top.

Steps:

• Toss the chicken pieces in the cornflour and season well. Set them aside.
• Fry the onion in half of the oil in a wok on a low to medium heat, until it softens - about 5-6 minutes - then add the garlic and cook for a minute. Stir in the spices and sugar and cook for another minute, then add the stock and soy sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Tip everything into a blender and blitz until smooth.
• Wipe out the pan and fry the chicken in the remaining oil until it is browned all over. Tip the sauce back into the pan and bring everything to a simmer, stir in the peas and cook for 5 minutes. Add a little water if you need to thin the sauce. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a large, nonreactive bowl, toss the chicken with five-spice powder, then with the juice of 2 of the limes, the soy sauce and the ginger. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
• Heat oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat. There should be at least 1/4 inch of oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip back into the bowl, and fry, in batches if necessary to not crowd the pan, turning the pieces frequently, until well browned and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. Combine oyster sauce, a tablespoon of the Scotch-bonnet-pepper sauce and the juice of the remaining lime and stir to combine. Adjust seasonings with more hot sauce, lime juice and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Garnish with scallions and serve with white or fried rice, with a drizzle of the sauce over each piece of chicken and the remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange chicken in a single layer in a glass baking dish.
• Combine oil, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and garlic.
• Pour over chicken.
• Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken is done.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter.
• Combine cornstarch and water.
• Add to juices in baking dish.

• Spoon over chicken.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into inch pieces.
• Whisk together egg whites and soy sauce.
• Soak chicken in soy mixture for 20 minutes covered in the fridge.
• Add 2 cups oil to wok or deep fryer.
• Heat wok to 350°F.
• Put cornstarch and flour into a reseal able plastic freezer bag.
• Add chicken to bag a little at a time, shake until evenly coated. Add more of the 50/50 flour mixture as needed to finish the job.
• Add chicken to wok.
• Fry 15 seconds only. No browning yet!
• Remove chicken and place aside on a cookie sheet or bowl lined with paper towels.
• After all of the chicken has cooked for 15 seconds let cool for a few minutes.
• Fry it an additional 15-20 seconds or until golden.
• Always check meat. If it is pink it needs to be cooked longer.
• Top with your favorite lemon or orange sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients with the chicken breast and leave for 20 minutes.
• Coat the chicken breast first in flour, then eggs, and finally panko breadcrumbs.
• In a medium-sized saucepan heat the oil to 325˚F (170°C),
• Deep fry the breaded chicken for about 3-4 minutes until the coating is golden brown.
• In a small frying pan, combine the chicken stock, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Mix the corn flour with the water, then add the mixture to the frying pan to thicken the sauce.
• Add the chicken to the frying pan and coat with the lemon sauce.
• Serve on top of rice. (We garnished ours with green onions and sesame seeds.)
