chinee style chicken recipe?

[sharc]

anyone have a recipe for chinee style chicken? The one that they's cook wit' see-aou (sp)?
we jus' doh get dat up here!!

[Falcon]

chicken pieces with skin ON
spring onions, garlic, ginger, MSG, salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, chillies, Soy sauce, Oyster sauce

So season the chicken with salt, MSG, black pepper, chillies, Wor sauce, garlic. Make sure you dont over-salt the seasoning because you're going to soak in soy next.
Then generously add soy sauce to the bowl with the chicken pieces- I mean a lot of soy. Add about a thumb-sized stick of crushed ginger. Add about 3 large bruised/crushed spring onions. Cover the bowl with cling film and put in the fridge for at least half day- best overnight.

Deep fry in veg oil the next day, youre looking at medium heat here if your pieces are thick. Drain on kitchen paper then use a cleaver to fashion portion sized pieces.

Your accompanying sauce will be soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, some toasted sesame seeds, chopped spring onions and maybe a hint of ketchup and pepper sauce.

Hope this works out well.

Falcon,
1. Can I eliminate the MSG?
2. You state:
"Your accompanying sauce will be soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, some toasted sesame seeds, chopped spring onions and maybe a hint of ketchup and pepper sauce."Can you detail this further? Do you simply mix this up and pour on the chicken after it's been cooked? If so, what are the measurements?
3. When you say "medium heat"; what temperature do you mean?

Thanks. I'd like to try your recipe this week.

No Guy, not for pour over- the sauce is optional for diners, according to their preferences. You know I cook with personal measurements tailored to my guest's/family's
tastes so you will have to chop and tweak once you make it one time. But let me approximate.

4 tablespoons soy, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, a tablespoon's worth some toasted sesame seeds, 2 large chopped spring onions and maybe a 2 teaspoons hint of ketchup and (?) pepper sauce.

I know MSG is frowned upon, but you aint gonna get cancer with msg use once in a while. The taste is not easily replicated, but see if there is chinese seasoning salt at your local asian grocer- there 'may' be modern ones without msg. I cant say I've looked honestly.

good luck

(should have added before to make sure to use LIGHT SOY for the marinade. You may use half and half light and dark for the sauce- or simply LIGHT again)

Thanks Falcon. I'll use the MSG. I approximate measurements too but since I'm trying this for the first time, I just wanted approximate measurements - which you gave. That should do and I'll make the necessary adjustments in the future if required.

'medium heat' meant enough to cook a thick breast piece or a drumstick without over-browning the surface.

there's no worcester sauce, black pepper, or chillies in the recipe. That's just crazy, it may taste awrite, but that's not the way its done.
