Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken sausages
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 180 milliliters low-fat milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the low-fat milk and egg whites until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the milk and egg mixture, stirring continuously until you have a smooth batter.
Pat the chicken sausages dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks well.
Dip each sausage into the prepared batter, turning to coat evenly.
Shake off excess batter gently, then place the battered sausages on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a cooking spray, lightly spray the sausages to add a touch of crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn the sausages over, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
