That's not fried chicken. That's a cutlet with gravy over the top. Yes, both are
chicken but the flavor is not the same as fried chicken legs, thighs, breasts, or

LOLOL!

Oh you'll pay big for that punch line I fear...

To me they look like they got crowded in the wok and par-steamed.

I always cook in chapters, first the aromatics, then add the meat, then
off to a bowl and on to the veg. Combine and finish with sauce.

One thing that tells me a given wok joint is one I want to go back to is
char.

If those are good older woks that get used a lot they impart a definite
wok char to the food, especially beef or pork.

Wok char is a bonus you must search for.

Those look exceptional, and all from an air fryer? Impressive.

In fact that salmon you made was notably free of albumin leakage.

Digging the seaweed topper as well.

I am highly suspicious of those who do not dip, though less so than

It is chicken, it has been battered and fried, thus it is "fried chicken".

Totally in agreement with you! What's the point of nice, crispy fries
dipped into gravy and soggy? Don't get it.

Nice crispy fries are delicious when dipped into some nice beef gravy.
Then there is poutine, which uses chicken gravy and fresh cheese curds.
I would never eat poutine myself, but it is very popular around here.

But nothing beats fries dipped in mayo or satay sauce. You dip and eat
right away. They're still crispy.

And great with chili and cheese, but I think french fries are best on a toothpick with pimento olives.

I don't think mayo and french fries really go together. Its just a Euro fad.

Belgians are the masters of fries and they serve them with mayo. The
classic way. The Dutch added satay sauce as an option. both
unbeatable. And not a fad

Hehhe I like Mayo with French Fries. Sometimes I add a little Ketchup,
Mustard and minced onion to it.

The only thing I dip are onion rings into a bit of ketchup. I'm just not a
dipper I guess.

I've never eaten poutine but have seen it. It's stomach lurching looking
to me.

Korean fried chicken is my daughter's favorite chicken. I find the flavor a bit too intense i.e., sweet. Here's a pretty good plate. It's Thai style chicken wings. Instead of rice, there's mashed potato and gravy, an Okinawan sweet potato, and a tossed salad. What a mash-up!

For a while, I saw people dipping fries into soft serve ice cream. I've tried it and it tastes pretty much like French fries dipped in ice cream. These days nobody's doing it any more. That's probably a good thing.

I've seen worse. There's a diner in Toledo that serves hot turkey or
beef sandwiches with bread, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and corn.
Ok, sometimes the vegetable of the day is green beans instead of
corn, but still...

Cream/milk is typical but I like making it with chicken stock instead.
No dairy other than butter.

Same with me, Joan. I like fried (or oven baked) chicken plain, no
gravy. I also like fries with plenty of pepper and salt but no ketchup.

Even boiled/steamed shrimp with no cocktail sauce.

That's odd to me. I also live in a tourist destination. Most of the
locals hate the tourists and will avoid that area in the summer.

Not me. I like to go down there and I get to meet many people from many
areas that save up all year just to spent a week here.

Nothing wrong with that. They love the beach area.

In 1973, I decided to MOVE here instead of an annual vacation.

I've done over-starching, too. I've gotten rice with gravy next to mashed potatoes with gravy next to mac & cheese and a pile of french fries. Yes, with gravy.

One of the few restaurant meals I ever had where I over starched was my
one experience in a Hawaiian restaurant. An earlier account of that
starchfest earned me a label of racist from our resident Hawaiian. I
had ordered their mahi mahi, which I thought would be the heart
healthiest option from a menu full of high sugar and high salt options.
What I got was one tiny piece of fish and two large domes of starch. One
was rice with a few black sesame seeds and the other was macaroni salad.
I would estimate that the domes had been created using a three cup
mixing bowl. It amounted to about 6 cups of starch and maybe an ounce
of fish.

My guess is that most people in most towns try to stay away from outsiders. It's probably been that way since there were towns. My guess is that most of the tourists to your town look a lot like you and speak the same language - that probably helps a lot.
