Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 150 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 milliliters Cold sparkling water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together to ensure the dry mixture is evenly combined.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the eggs, stirring gently.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken but still slightly runny. Adjust with a little extra rice flour or sparkling water if necessary.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying.
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and gently lower it into the hot oil.
Fry the chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or a side of salad.
