Ol' Virginia Peanutty Chicken Bites

• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped roasted shelled Virginia type peanuts
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
• 2 whole chicken breasts, skinned and boned

Put chopped peanuts in a 9-inch pie plate. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar, and ginger; blend in lemon juice and egg whites. Cut chicken into thin slices. Dip slices in egg mixture, then roll in peanuts to coat. Cook 3 or 4 chicken bites at a time in Presto® electric deep fryer until desired brownness is reached (about 2 minutes), turning once. Remove from oil, and drain on absorbent paper. Repeat until all bites are cooked. May be served with peach sauce.
