Need to know what this american chinese food is called?

Question

It is chicken and it is has this like golden crispy stuff all around it. I guess its diped in some kind of batter and like deep fried. But u usually dip it in sweet and sour sauce. LOL first of all does anyone know what Im talking about and can you tell me what its called.

Answer 1

It could be General Gao chicken. . . .Try to look at some menus though, because I know that strangely enough, depending where you are in the US, different areas call the same dish different things for Chinese food! Isn't that confusing??

Answer 2

It is called "Sweet and Sour Chicken". The chicken is cooked inside of a golden crispy batter. The Chinese store puts sweet and sour sauce into a container so you can dip the chicken.

Answer 3

Pop corn chicken with sweet/sour sauce.



POPCORN CHICKEN (JUST LIKE KFC!!)

1 egg
1 cup white flour
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 small boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cups vegetable oil (or any other frying oil)
2 paper towels

Mix flour and Cajun seasoning in small mixing bowl.
In separate bowl, beat egg.

Cut chicken breasts in small pieces ranging anywhere from about a 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch in size, depending on how crispy you want (smaller=crispier).

Pour oil into a small skillet and place on a medium heat.

Dip pieces of chicken into egg, being sure they are fully covered.

Drop the chicken, piece by piece into the flour mixture, fully coating the chicken.

Test to be sure that the oil is ready by dropping a little glob of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready! Now, slide the chicken into the skillet, easily and slowly to be sure the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Do this as quickly as possible. After about 3-4 minutes, flip the pieces over (pieces should be colored a light golden brown).

When chicken is finished, scoop it out draining as much oil as possible into the pan for more chicken and place it on a plate with the two paper towels lining the bottom.

This will catch and drain the excess oil so your chicken is super crunchy.

i'm guessing it could be sweet and sour chicken hong kong style. the main reason being that unlike in china, in the hong kong version of the dish the chicken is dipped and coated in batter and then it is deep fried. afterwards, it is added to the sweet and sour sauce comprised in particular onions, green, red and yellow peppers and pineapple
