Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 500 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken pieces. If too thick, add a little more milk.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Carefully place a few coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
Fry the chicken bites for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the cooked chicken bites and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
Serve the batter chicken bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
