Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Club soda
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the club soda. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and fully combined, creating the batter for the chicken.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
Dip each chicken piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.
Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken bites are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
