Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cold water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1- to 1.5-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and white pepper. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cold water to form a smooth wet mixture.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring as you go, to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve the Mar Far Chicken hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet and sour sauce or soy-based dips.
