 MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
 
 MMMMM-------------------------A MIXTURE------------------------------
       2 tb Soy sauce
       1 ts Sugar
       1 tb Sherry wine
            A few gratings of fresh
            -ginger
       2 ts Hoisin sauce
       1    Clove garlic, minced
     1/4 ts Sesame oil
       1 ts Salt
         ds MSG (optional)
 
 MMMMM-------------------------B MIXTURE------------------------------
       2    Eggs
     1/2 c  Cornstarch
     1/2 c  Flour
            Oil for deep frying
            Lettuce leaves, shredded
  
   Green onion, Chinese parsley and cashew nuts, all chopped, for
   garnish This is one of the better deep-fried chicken recipes I've
   found.  It calls for chicken wings, but I used a whole chicken, cut
   up Chinese style and just increased the marinade ingredients a tad.
   
   Serve this with side dishes of hoisin sauce, spiced salt (toasted salt
   mixed with black pepper about half and half), hot mustard and chili
   oil along with a bowl of finely chopped scallions.  Dip piece of
   chicken into the dip of your choice, then into the scallions and
   enjoy!  Ice cold beer goes great with this dish.  Oh yeah++steamed
   rice too...
   
   Be sure to use the dark, toasted sesame oil rather than the health
   food store stuff.
   
   1.  Soak cut-up chicken in marinade ingredients A for 1 hour.  Mix
   ingredients B into bowl with marinated chicken.  Stir well.  Will be
   very sticky and stiff to mix.
   
   2.  Heat 2 inches oil in wok to 375F.  Drop batter covered chicken
   piece by piece carefully into hot oil.  Do not fill wok too full of
   chicken or it will take too long to brown.  Should take only 5
   minutes to cook through. Result will be crispy golden brown chicken
   pieces.
   
   3.  Drain on paper towels.  Place on platter lined with lettuce
   shreds.
   
   4.  Garnish if desired with chopped green onions, Chinese parsley and
   cashew nuts.
