An Exquisite Almond Chicken Bites

A, A! Long time no see! How allyuh goin? I fine well thanks…..Today I have an exquisite almond chicken bites recipe that I learnt while doing some cooking classes. Much credit goes to my mentor for this one and, by the looks of it, you know it is going to taste goooood. Anyway, I’ve been meaning to post,  but things get in the way and you have to leave stuff undone or halfway done to attend to more important matters at the time, so I hope you all understand.

But, I’m here, there, everywhere always busy as a bee organising new recipes or working on different approaches to the same ole, same ole trini dishes just to add some pizzazz. So, I’m busy and it looks like there isn’t any stopping in the near future because of the sheer quantity of information on Trinidad and Tobago’s cuisine still to be posted. There’s so much still to do.

As part of the new “stuff” I’ve been doing in the background, I have reintroduced our newsletter to keep you all in tune with what’s happening on the site. It has been a long arduous task to get everything in order but now it is and it’s full steam ahead. As part of the benefits I have included an exclusive recipe section where only subscribers are allowed to read.

2 tbsp. + 4 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. sugar
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 egg

Cover with a plastic wrap and leave to marinade for an hour.

 In another bowl combine 4 tbsp cornstarch with the ground almonds.

Heat oil in a deep pot. Deep fry for 3 minutes, or  until golden brown.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve on a bed of lettuce with sweet and sour sauce or plum sauce.
