Oil for deep frying

Lettuce leaves, shredded

Green onion, Chinese parsley and cashew nuts, all chopped, forgarnish This is one of the better deep-fried chicken recipes I'vefound. It calls for chicken wings, but I used a whole chicken, cutup Chinese style and just increased the marinade ingredients a tad.
Serve this with side dishes of hoisin sauce, spiced salt (toasted saltmixed with black pepper about half and half), hot mustard and chilioil along with a bowl of finely chopped scallions. Dip piece ofchicken into the dip of your choice, then into the scallions andenjoy! Ice cold beer goes great with this dish. Oh yeah++steamedrice too...

Be sure to use the dark, toasted sesame oil rather than the healthfood store stuff.

1. Soak cut-up chicken in marinade ingredients A for 1 hour. Mixingredients B into bowl with marinated chicken. Stir well. Will bevery sticky and stiff to mix.

2. Heat 5 inches oil in deep fryer to 375F. Drop batter coveredchicken piece by piece carefully into hot oil. Do not fill too full ofchicken or it will take too long to brown. Should take only 5 minutesto cook through. Result will be crispy golden brown chicken pieces.

3. Drain on paper towels. Place on platter lined with lettuceshreds.

4. Garnish if desired with chopped green onions, Chinese parsley andcashew nuts.
