Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • chicken breast
  • soy
  • onion powder
  • garlic paste
  • hot sauce
Cut the chicken breast into large strips; mix in a bowl with a little soy, onion powder, garlic paste and hot sauce. Marinate about 15 minutes.
  • green jalapenos
  • red jalapenos
  • onion
Cut green and red jalapenos into fat slices, seeds in, and cut the onion; set aside on a tray.
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • smoked paprika
  • chili powder
  • garlic powder
  • cayenne
  • brown sugar
Mix the seasoning: kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, a little cayenne and a little brown sugar.
Mixing the American spice blend
  • bacon
  • 2 tbsp bacon grease
Cook the bacon, cut in large pieces since it shrinks; remove it. Pour off grease, leaving a couple of tablespoons.
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • milk
Whisk in a couple of tablespoons of flour and cook about a minute; whisk in milk a little at a time, then chicken broth, scraping the sides and bottom.
  • chicken broth
  • salt
  • pepper
Let the gravy bubble a couple of minutes; season with a little salt, a lot of pepper and a little more smoked paprika.
  • potatoes
Cut the potatoes into waffle fries: one cut, turn the potato, cut again.
  • oil
Fry in the hot oil, shaking so they separate, until golden brown; drain and salt straight out of the fryer.
  • cornstarch
  • egg white
Mix egg white into the marinated chicken; coat the pieces in cornstarch and shake off the excess.
Fry until cooked through, 155 to 160 for breast. Let drip.
  • neutral oil
Heat a wok with a splash of neutral oil; stir-fry the peppers and onion three or four minutes to soften.
  • red onion
Add the chicken and waffle fries and toss to reheat; add the spice blend and toss, then the bacon and diced red onion.
Pack into a paper bag, pour the bacon gravy over and finish with more spice mix.
