Drescription

These fried Chinese chicken pieces are crispy, succulent, and hard to stop eating! They're so good that they will give your local Chinese restaurant a run for their money. Enjoy with rice and sweet and sour sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup water, or more if needed
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pinch ground white pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

Directions

  1. Make batter: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in sesame oil. Gradually add water, whisking constantly until smooth; batter should be the consistency of cream. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Fill a deep pan or wok with oil and slowly heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Prepare chicken: Mix together cornstarch and white pepper in a large shallow dish. Dust chicken in cornstarch mixture, then dip into batter, evenly coating each piece.
  4. Working in batches, fry coated chicken in hot oil until golden and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Use a slotted spoon to remove fried chicken to a clean kitchen towel to drain.
