Preparation:
Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Serving: 4
Ingredients:
Batter:
- 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
Chicken:
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pinch ground white pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Instructions:
- 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.
- Fill a deep pan or wok with oil and slowly heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
- 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.
