I moved from MI to CA and was so surprised nobody had ever heard of almond boneless chicken. It was my favorite! So nice to see it being appreciated.

Wow, I'm not going to lie, this zip style sauce recipe that I looked up and watched here has been something I honed on my own. Didn't know this was an actual recipe that was created. Not hardto figure it out but love the garlic in my meat then a nice hard coating. This recipe just makes sense. Never knew about the history or existed really. Thanks everyone and thank you for the history and wonderful conversations you try to keep. I'm sure y'all are more lively off camera!!

The way I do it is to take the butter and create a compound butter with the herbs and pepper, slather it on the meat, salt it, then hit it in a 525 degree oven for 5 minutes times the exact weight of the meat, rounding up to the next minute. Then when that time is reached, turn the oven off and walk away from the oven for 2 hours. The meat is rested and perfectly medium and ready to slice.

As a relocated Detroiter, I have missed almond boneless chicken for over 40 years. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

I'm from upstate SC and my local Chinese restaurant has ABC on their menu. I have never ordered it, but now I will.

45yrs of baking and I've learn this much: haven't found a tablespoon that fits in a spice jar. Its hard to find a set that has a 1/8teaspoon anymore. Most metal sets the handles are thin and get bent when scooping out thick ingredients like peanut butter, honey, brown sugar. All of the plastic measuring spoons and cups lose their painted markings in the dishwasher, some even with a plastic scrubber when hand washed. Spoons that snap or slide clip together instead of using a key ring come unclipped and get lost in the gaget drawer. I buy measuring spoon often to replace the failures (and measuring cup sets too) and donate the failures to my potting bench for measuring out plant food and supplements for my garden. (All non-food use household measuring devices should be clearly marked in bold indelible ink or etched with Dremel tool as such and NEVER be used for food again)

I never knew it was such a regional dish (grew up in Grand Rapids, MI and used to get it all the time)

almond fried chicken is also very common in the northwest, washington, oregon and idaho. also common in hawaii. the restaurants that serve it are chinese-american and not pure chinese cuisine. there are 6 restaurants in my immediate area that serve it along with egg foo yung and chow mein with crispy noodles.

Great recipe for roast beef, easy to follow, not too many ingredients and it came out delicious!

[@paulseale8409]

These guys are so good!!!!!!!

[@marjglin]

I like herb crusted roasts but my absolute favorite is to use Montreal Steak Seasoning with a little oil if a very lean piece of meat. Makes the most delicious crust on the outside served with pan gravy.

[@marilynsnider8183]

Both of them look very good. Am dying to try them.

[@SG-si1sx]

It looks delicious I'm ready for almond chicken now.

[@bradcondray3488]

[@bubba1343]
