Chicken Two Ways without Fried Rice...

So I had it in my mind to make sweet crunchy Asian style chicken with savory fried rice this week. I chopped a huge pile of carrots, celery and onion and put the rice on to boil. I chopped up a ton of chicken into nice little bite sized pieces... White meat:

And for Dad and Carmen; dark meat:

I mixed up a super beer batter:

Then I fried the pieces up and tossed them in some savory teriyaki glaze, they came out crispy and sweet and wonderful:

Meanwhile the rice cooked into a pile of mushy waste... I was so disappointed that I violently tossed it in the trash, swearing never to make rice again, ever...

I did however have plenty of chicken and batter left over so I made this delicious pile of crunchy nuggets:

And these amazing battered fries with ranch:

I was still mad about the rice but at least the other fried delights came out nice...
