Fried Almond Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, garlic, paprika, thyme, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk into another dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the almond flour mixture, dip in the buttermilk and then dredge again in the flour mixture. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until some flour dropped in turns golden right away. Add the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low and fry until deep golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 18 minutes, turning every few minutes. Remove the chicken to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

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.
