  • One 3-pound chicken
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 stalks celery, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges and the layers separated
  • ¼ cup sliced green onion tops

  • How To Cook:
    1. Skin and bone the chicken then cut it into large bite-size pieces. Place in a covered casserole.

    2. Mix in the soy sauce, oil, garlic, cayenne pepper, and cornstarch in a covered casserole and marinate, stirring occasionally, for at least a half hour or more.

    3. Meanwhile put the almonds and the butter in a small dish and cook in the microwave oven, stirring often, until the nuts are toasted a golden brown (about 4 to 5 minutes). Set aside.

    4. Add the mushrooms, celery, and onion to the chicken and cook, covered in the microwave oven, stirring from time-to-time for even cooking, until the chicken has become opaque and tender (about 15 minutes).

    5. Garnish with the almonds and green onions.

    NOTE:
        If you want to be authentically Korean, leave out the cornstarch. The sauce will be quite runny then.
