- Wipe chicken with a damp cloth. With a sharp knife, make an incision along backbone, but don't cut through bone. Place bird in a heatproof bowl and add in stock.
- Steam 30 min. (See "How-to Section"). Meanwhile blanch almonds and chop coarsely.
- Let bird cold slightly; then bone. Beat egg lightly and blend in flour and salt to make a batter; then coat chicken with batter.
- Heat oil till nearly smoking. Gently lower in chicken, using a wire basket or possibly large long-handled Chinese strainer. Deep-fry, basting and turning till golden brown. Drain on paper toweling.
- Let bird cold slightly. Carefully cut in 1-1/2-inch strips (running from backbone to breastbone), then in 1-1/2-inch squares. Arrange, skin-side up, on a serving platter.
- In a c., blend cornstarch and cool water to a paste. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey and remaining water, and heat, stirring. Then add in cornstarch paste and stir in to thicken. Pour over chicken. Garnish with nutmeats and serve. VARIATION: For the almonds, substitute walnuts or possibly pecans, or possibly use all 3 in combination.
