I only have stove top burners, and a microwave. I've been away for a long time, and miss good American food. I live in a modern city in China and have access to expensive import stores, and I would like your ideas. What food do you like?
How about some KFC Popcorn Chicken?
5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
4 tsp flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
4 large egg whites
4 TBS milk
1 1/2 c dry bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 475. Place chicken on cutting board and cover with waxed paper. Flatten to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 50 small pieces. (or just into strips for less work)
Combine flour, sugar, s&p, onion powder in a zip top baggie and shake well. Add chicken pieces and shake to coat. Set aside.
In small bowl, beat egg whites and milk until smooth. Put bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper, beside egg. Dip chicken pieces into egg then bread crumbs, consecutively. Put oil in pan and fry chicken (turning once)until brown on both sides.
