A note about serious food allergies

Fried chicken has been good to you for so long, a constant friend next to golden arches and bells of taco in the fast-food section of town. Can it get any better? It can. Those plucky pieces can be tossed in chili sauce with red pepper flakes, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Sweet-and-spicy coating tempura-battered pieces of perfectly fried chicken? Tell that colonel you're going AWOL.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using mahi-mahi, pat dry and cut into 3/4" strips. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 3 and 4, flipping occasionally until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-6 minutes.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry and season with a pinch of pepper. Follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 3 and 4, flipping occasionally until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Pat chicken breasts dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice each breast lengthwise into four equal strips, about 3/4" wide. Season all over with a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Edamame Rice

    Bring a medium pot with rice and 11/2 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, 10 minutes.

    Uncover, and stir in edamame and half the green onions (reserve remaining for chicken). Cover again, and cook until rice is tender, 8-10 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Cover and set aside.

    While rice cooks, batter chicken.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil and Batter Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add canola oil. Heat oil, 5 minutes.

    While oil heats, combine tempura mix, 1/4 cup cold water, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl until a batter the consistency of a thin pancake batter forms. If too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

    Add chicken strips to bowl and coat completely.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

    Working in batches if necessary, lay chicken strips in hot oil and flip occasionally until crispy, golden brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-6 minutes.

    Transfer cooked chicken to towel-lined plate.

  5. 5

    Sauce Chicken and Finish Dish

    Transfer cooked chicken to another mixing bowl and toss or gently combine with sweet chili sauce, reserved green onions, and red pepper flakes (to taste).
