Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanuts (raw )
  • 3 cups peanut oil
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water chestnut flour
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp gingerroot, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili paste with garlic
  • 1 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • cornstarch paste

Directions:

  1. Preparation: Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white part into 1 sections.
  2. Mix all other sauce ingredients in 2-quart saucepan.
  3. Reserve.
  4. Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones.
  5. Slice meat into 1 strips, then crosswise to make 1 chunks.
  6. In bowl large enough to hold chicken, add egg white to water chestnut flour.
  7. Beat mixture with a single chopstick (not an egg beater or whisk).
  8. Stir chicken pieces into egg mixture to coat thoroughly.
  9. Marinate 5 minutes.
  10. Note: water chestnut flour gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be substituted.
  11. Deep-frying: Heat cooking oil in wok or deep-fryer to medium heat (you'll need more oil for deep-fryer).
  12. Fry peanuts until they are a light tan color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat.
  13. Remove peanuts with strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or paper bag.
  14. Reserve.
  15. Turn up heat slightly for chicken.
  16. Test a chunk first: chicken should raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 minutes.
  17. Deep-fry coated chicken chunks until golden brown.
  18. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a time.
  19. Use long chopsticks or spatula to keep pieces separate while they are frying.
  20. Remove with long chopsticks or slotted spoon.
  21. Reserve.
  22. Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer.
  23. Add green onions & peanuts about a minute before serving.
  24. At the last minute, add chicken pieces to sauce, mix quickly & serve.
