Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: Whisk the egg white, cornstarch and rice wine in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Make the stir-fry sauce: Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster, hoisin and soy sauces, the rice wine and sesame oil in a bowl, then whisk in the cornstarch until dissolved.
- Fry the noodles: Pull the noodles apart into sections. Heat 3/4 inch peanut oil in a medium saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 380 degrees F. Working in batches, press the noodles into the oil with a spatula until they puff, 5 to 10 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the stir-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the skillet; when almost smoking, stir in the garlic, ginger, jalapeno and minced scallions, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the sugar and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, water chestnuts and scallion pieces and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry sauce and chicken and cook 1 minute. Make a bed of noodles on a platter and top with the chicken mixture. Serve the noodles and stir-fry with lettuce leaves and soy sauce for dipping. Photograph by Andrew Mccaul

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and shred the chicken in pieces.
- For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
- Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews to the chicken.
- Fill the center of each tortilla with the chicken mixture. Fold the 2 sides of the tortilla over the filling so that the sides overlap. Roll the tortilla from bottom to top, and cut in half diagonally.
FOLDED HOT CHICKEN WRAPS RECIPE BY TASTY
Here's what you need: Walmart Chicken Breast Tenderloins, kosher salt, all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, buttermilk, hot sauce, large egg, vegetable oil, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, freshly ground black pepper, flour tortillas, shredded iceberg lettuce, bread and butter pickles, mayonnaise, reserved frying oil

Yield 8 wraps

Steps:
- Make the fried chicken: Cut the Walmart Breast Tenderloins into 1-inch (2.54 cm) cubes and season evenly with ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt until combined. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, hot sauce, and egg until smooth.
- Working in batches, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour mixture. Set on a plate while you heat the oil for frying.
- Fill a large, high-walled cast iron skillet with about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 360-375°F (182-190°C). Set a wire rack on top of paper towels.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Reserve the frying oil.
- Make the hot spiced oil: In a large bowl, whisk together the cayenne, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Carefully pour in ½ cup of the reserved frying oil and whisk to combine.
- Working in batches if necessary, toss the fried chicken in the spiced oil until evenly coated, adding more oil if the mixture gets too thick. Return to the wire rack and let cool enough to handle.
- Assemble the wraps: Roughly chop the chicken.
- Set a tortilla on a cutting board. Use a knife to cut from the center of the tortilla down to the bottom edge. Scoop about ¼ cup of the chopped chicken onto the bottom left quadrant of the tortilla, to the left of the cut. Working clockwise, add ¼ cup shredded lettuce to the top left quadrant, 2 tablespoons chopped pickles to the top right quadrant, and drizzle or spread 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise over the bottom right quadrant. Starting from the bottom left and working clockwise, fold each quadrant over the next, pressing gently after each fold.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved frying oil over medium-high heat. Working 2 at a time and adding more oil between batches, fry each wrap on both sides for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown, being careful to keep the fillings inside.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

ZIPPY'S FRIED CHICKEN
I found this recipe on the KaukauTime blog. I haven't tried it yet, but wanted to save it since I miss the taste of Zippy's! Note: The secret of Zippy's Crispy Fried Chicken is the paprika and flour. The paprika and flour will make the chicken crispy without it being overly battered. Adding a bit of cornstarch will make it even more crispier if you prefer it this way. The more paprika you add will also make the chicken darker.
