Almond chicken is common in some Chinese restaurants here in the states but it's not all the same and slightly different from one restaurant to another.

Thanks Flo for making this dish! It reminds me of a dish my grandma used to make called Hong Soo Gai.
@clydekawanishi7998 11 ай бұрын
now the version I grew up in mid fifties was a stir fry with light brown gravy with chicken and mushroom slices with diced celery, water chestnuts, and green onion.. mix with either almond slices or cashew nuts. Up until the 70 's it was somewhat American Cantonese based Chinese. Now after that it became more Mandarin based.

I don't have an air fryer but I love your recipes so I bake them in a toaster oven by using a perforated pan or rack allowing air to circulate around the food for even crisping, Has always worked me so I'm going to try this one as well in the next few days after I purchase some items. Thank you for all your videos, Happy Father's Day Dude...

Almond chicken is whole breast meat or thigh that is battered and deep fried, after cooking it you slice the pieces and sprinkle crushed almond bits on top of the chicken and serve with fresh lemon.

Yay for almond chicken! Yours looks delicious and different...I love the addition of the mushrooms and non-ground almonds. I love the technique you did with the chicken. Definitely going to make this meal and have happy tummies here that night. Thank you so much Flo and Dude!
@shellyboggs9093 2 жыл бұрын
From my understanding this is a dish that originated in Canada. Soo Gai is what it was called. I am lucky enough that I live in a northern western state and grew up eating this dish called almond chicken. Also called Detroit Almond chicken and ABC (almond boneless chicken). In the late 80,s I lived in upper New York and was only able to find it in two Asian restaurants there at that time. Thank you so much for covering this and showing that it can be done in the air fryer! I am going to make some this week!

Thanks for this one, guys! I was one of those who requested it. I laugh now to think how I never realized that the food like this I loved eating when I was growing up wasn’t even ‘real’ Chinese food. Same-same: what do you mean Taco Bell isn’t real Mexican food? 😂😂😂😂. Regardless, I still love it so much. I, too, have graduated to fresh mushrooms. (After I got my drivers license, I would go to The Monsoon restaurant all alone for pork fried rice, egg fu young, or boneless almond chicken. 16 years old! Usually I’d just order one of them and leave with my leftovers in the little white takeout box. Oh happy independence!) All that’s left on my Chinese food make-it-myself bucket list would be the beloved and requisite FORTUNE COOKIE!! I dare you, Flo!! 🤎XOjennyinseattle

So far garlic noodles seems to be my favorite. But followed closely by General Tso's chicken and pepper steak. Guess my tastes run like Dudes. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

Flo and Dude: Have you guys watched “Soul of a Banquet” about Cecilia Chiang? She is the “Mother of American Chinese Food” (I think it’s her son who started P.F. Chang restaurants). Cecilia died last October at age 100! There are numerous KZfaq videos about her, but the documentary is great. It still has to be paid for (I did not check the streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, etc. in case it’s there) but it would be a fun family movie night experience. We can credit (or blame?😂) her for the likes of egg fu young and boneless almond chicken. Actually, also for opening cultures to each of us here in the US. ~xoj
@lorrieliu5938 3 жыл бұрын
Please! NO! Cecilia Chang is credited with introducing authentic Northern style Chinese cuisine to the US! She was appalled at the Westernized Chinese (Cantonese) food served in the San Francisco Chinatown restaurants. please re-watch Soul of a Banquet and get your facts straight

Nice try for your first time making it. It is usually called almond chicken soo guy on Canadian Chinese menus and is usually a chicken breast cutlet battered, covered with brown sauce and almond pieces. I grew up in a Canadian Chinese restaurant and made my fair share of these as a teenager.

@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 Its the sauce common in Cantonese cooking, whether the sauce in a vegetable stir fry, the gravy on egg foo young or the sauce for Cantonese chow mein. It is usually made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken powder and thickened with cornstarch.

Plastic bags have a place and purpose in cooking. Taking the bag and putting it into the freezer will allow you to reuse the starch in the bag without fear since freezing "meat juices" stop them from becoming harmful just like frozen meat is safe. I do this with several of my dredges until the bag or the dredge becomes "wet". Even storing the empty bag in the freezer allows you to reuse the bag for the same meat. That gravy would be fabulous on many different dishes!

This looks good!! Please pardon me for being in some ways a bit more "I can't be bothered with this or that" on a couple of things! I'll use pre-cooked chicken chunks from Sam's but I will make the sauce as you did! Also, my teeth aren't up to nuts much any more so I'll leave out the almonds but it really does look very very good! I know that fresh ingredients can make a heck of a difference, though! I forget how many years ago I learned that fresh ginger is so much better than ginger in a tube or the squeeze ginger I do sometimes use! Thanks for another great one!!! My absolute very very best wishes to all of you!!! :-)
