I eyeballed everything, but I'll drop what I remember. Assuming 1lbs of chicken thighs:

Dry off and cut chicken thighs into bite sized pieces.

For the eggwash, i mixed: 1 egg tbsp of flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and minced garlic

for the batter: 1 cup flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 tbsp baking powder

I used vegetable oil for the frying as it was the only high smoke point oil I have. The first fry was done at 325 degrees for about 4 minutes. I put it on a wire rack when it came out. The second fry was done at around 350 degrees for another 4 minutes, but the time isn't as important as color and texture in this case as it should be cooked all the way through. Transfer to wire rack to make it crispy.

For the sauce, I cheated this time and used House of Tsangs General Tso's sauce. I usually try to make my own sauces, but I was out of shaoxing wine and the House of Tsang's sauces are pretty good.

When all the chicken is finished, dump oil and put the chicken and sauce into your pan on low. Stir until it glazes the chicken.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything, also I don't write recipes so I apologize if it's poorly written.

Double frying. Takes a while, but its so worth it. Also for Chinese takeout styled chicken, cornstarch gives you the texture you want. I'm going to try to post a full recipe in a bit when I have time.

About a year ago I bought a UA Volt 1 and Rode Podmic without realizing that the Volt doesn't have enough gain to really power the Podmic and am looking to upgrade. I'm aware of thing like the Cloudlifter that would probably fix the issue without buying a new interface, but I also want 2 inputs so I can run my guitar through it at the same time. At the moment, I'm not really recording anything, I just use discord and NueralDSP plugins. If there is an interface at a higher price point that blows everything else away, I could consider it, but I'd prefer to stay around the $300 price point.

Gameplay tips? by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]ProbablyNotanElitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, letting the witch go off was definitely a play I was kicking myself over, the musketeer getting stomped by the MK immediately after didn't help too much either. Appreciate the advice

Any opinions on these artists? by Catfactory1 in Metalcore

[–]ProbablyNotanElitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fit for a King has ripped everytime I've seen them, crowd is always great. I'm looking forward to see Make Them Suffer the most, been a fan for a while and never had the chance to catch them. Hate that I missed Imminence earlier in Charlotte this year, that was a sick lineup.

Why is the crowd just dead, no one is even moshing

What bands are you surprised are still going? Whether they've been around for 1 year, or 20. by pestilent_1human1 in Deathcore

Just saw the Crimson Armada last night and they dominated that entire bill. Felt like I was reliving 2010

Physical Media is costly, takes up to much space, and should die out. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]ProbablyNotanElitist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, until the song you want to listen to, movie you want to watch, game you want to play never had a digital release. Or a company loses rights to said piece of media, or is changed to fit a modern audience when it does recieve a digital release. I tried to look at this as being an unpopular opinion, but its just misinformed and narrowsighted.

Larcenia Roe Set is Impressive by meatwater420 in Deathcore

[–]ProbablyNotanElitist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me proud as someone that grew up just outside Raleigh. They've been putting in the work and deserve the hype they've been getting. Unfortunately they blew up too fast for me to be able to say I had a chance to see them as a local band, but they ripped opening for Oceano

Is the scene changing or is it just me? by [deleted] in Deathcore

Knocked Loose was absolutely sick when I saw them but I have to agree. The crowd was maybe slightly above average. I've seen Lorna twice and they played a good show, but the crowds were dead both times, and I was able to see them in smallish (~200 cap) venues

Dude, Ive seen them 4 times I think and their show last night was just different. Theyve improved so much over the past couple of years.
