Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg
- 1 cup club soda
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the club soda until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature is maintained.
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Fry each batch for approximately 4-5 minutes or until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces or as part of your favorite gluten-free meal.
