    Stir-Fried Chicken With Ketchup

    1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, preferably dark meat, in 1/2-
    to 1-inch chunks
    1/2 cup flour, more as needed 4 tablespoons neutral oil,
    like corn or canola Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons
    slivered garlic
    2/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste 1 cup ketchup.

    3. Toss chicken with flour so that it is lightly dusted. Put
    2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, preferably
    nonstick, and turn heat to high. When oil smokes, add
    chicken in one layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    4. When chicken browns on one side, toss it and cook until
    just about done: smaller pieces will take 5 minutes
    total, larger pieces about 10. Remove to a plate. Turn
    off heat and let pan cool for a moment.

    5. Add remaining oil to pan and turn heat to medium high.
    Add garlic and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring, about
    2 minutes. Add ketchup and stir; cook until ketchup
    bubbles, then darkens slightly. Return chicken to pan
    and stir to coat with sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning,
    then serve.

    Yield: 4 servings. Mark Bittman, NYT, 5/12/2004

    Alan;

    Thanks for thinking of me, but this recipe just doesn't
    appeal to me. I have no idea why since that recipe involves
    my favorite condiment. I do appreciate your kindness in
    posting that recipe.

    Ketchup was originally asian fish sauce. The British
    substituted tomatoes to fake it.

    So it's not all that whacky.

    Well then, perhaps you should do it the way the Chinese do:
    use Hoisin sauce. Bet you would like it then. 🙂
