How to Cook have several steps that you have to follow, First you have to go to grocery, local Stores and supermarkets, but I suggest you go to local markets because they are more fresh I guess, when you get to the store you need to get what you need for your cooking, but when you go to the store and buy things you might forgetting what you need for your cooking so write them down before you come to the store. For today I need to buy Vegetable oil, for frying ,2 1/2 cups complete pancake mix, any brand, divided,1 1/4 cups water,8 teaspoons hot sauce, divided (recommended: Tabasco) ,1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into small bite-sized pieces,1 cup store bought, good quality refrigerated blue cheese dressing (recommended: Marie's brand),2 scallions, finely chopped,1 teaspoon coarse black pepper, 1/3 palm full Cut celery sticks, store bought 2 cups, 4 handfuls, fresh shiitake mushrooms2 cups, 4 handfuls, fresh shiitake mushrooms 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 pounds thin cut chicken breast or chicken tenders 2 tablespoons light colored oil, such as vegetable oil or peanut oil Coarse salt and coarse black pepper 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 inch ginger root, finely chopped or grated, optional 1 orange, zested 1/2 red bell pepper, diced small 1 small tin, 6 to 8 ounces, sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped 3 scallions, chopped 3 tablespoons hoisin, Chinese barbecue sauce, available on Asian foods aisle of market 1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, core removed, head quartered Wedges of navel orange -- platter garnish. These Ingredients seems a lot of things but most of things are you can find them in the house easily. Barbecued Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Buffalo Popcorn Chicken Bites are the things that I am going to make today.
While the oil is heating make the batter. In a wide mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the pancake mix, 1 1/4 cups water and about 6 teaspoons hot sauce. Place the remaining plain 1/2 cup pancake mix in another wide mixing bowl. Arrange the batter and the bowl of plain pancake mix near the cook top and the heating oil. Line a plate with a few sheets of paper towels and keep within reach.
Once the oil is heated and ready, toss the chicken pieces in 2 teaspoons of hot sauce then toss in the plain pancake mix, coat evenly and shake off excess. The plain dry pancake mix will help the batter stick to the chicken pieces. Add some of chicken to the batter, you are going to want to work in 3 to 4 batches coating and frying. Using a fork, toss the bites in the batter. Remove the first batch from the batter, shaking off the excess batter as you carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes on the first side, or until the first side is a deep golden brown, flip and continue to fry for another 2 minutes or until deep golden brown all over. Remove from the oil and drain on the paper towel lined plate, season with salt. Repeat until all the popcorn chicken bites are fried. Serve immediately with refrigerated, good quality creamy blue cheese prepared dressing with chopped scallions and black pepper stirred into it for dipping. Garnish platter with celery sticks. This recipe was the Buffalo popcorn Chicken it was only takes about ten minutes.
