chinese almond chicken

chinese almond chicken
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sherry
  • 3 pounds chicken, skin removed, meat removed from bones and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut oil for frying
  • 1 cup blanched almonds
  • 1/3 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diagonally sliced bamboo shoots
  • 1/2 cup diagonally sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 10 whole water chestnuts, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock


  1. Mix the soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, and sherry in a large bowl. Stir in chicken; cover and refrigerate.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 cups of the peanut oil in a large, deep skillet. Fry almonds in the oil until golden, about 1 minute. Drain fried almonds on a paper towel.
  3. Drain all but 3 tablespoons of oil from the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, celery, onion, and water chestnuts. Cook and stir vegetables for 1 minute. Remove from skillet.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup oil in the skillet. Cook and stir the marinated chicken in hot oil until no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cooked vegetables, chicken stock, and reserved soy sauce mixture; simmer until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in fried almonds before serving.
