Notes

  • *Velvet chicken consist of sprinkling baking soda lightly over chicken, as too much maybe hard to rinse from chicken. This is how you get your chicken tender just like the chinese restaurants. There are other methods, like marinating with pineapple juice as well to break down the chicken. But i prefer baking soda rinsing through several (5+ times) times.
  • Nature’s Seasoning is a mixture of salt, black pepper, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, and celery seed.
