PICK UP STIX HOUSE SPECIAL CHICKEN COPYCAT RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• To make the stir-fry sauce, combine the chili oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, spring onions, soy sauce and water in a bowl. Place cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in zip top bag and add the chicken in batches, shaking to cover all sides. When all your chicken is coated, heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add peanut oil and then stir-fry the coated chicken. When your stir fry is ready to plate add the combined sauce ingredients into the wok or pan and then add the cornstarch slurry. Stir over heat until it reaches saucy consistency and serve.

ALMOST-FAMOUS BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a mixer; sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, butter, sugar, fine salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, 5 minutes.
• Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft, 3 minutes. Roll into a 2-foot-long log; cut into 16 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7-inch-long breadstick; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the flavored salt.
