Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breasts
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 2 units Eggs
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Dice the boneless chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, red chili flakes, cayenne pepper, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the chicken is well-coated with the seasonings.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch to the chicken mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined and forms a thick batter around the chicken pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small amount of batter into the oil—it should sizzle immediately and float to the top.
Using a spoon, carefully drop small portions of the chicken mixture into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken mixture.
Serve the spicy chicken fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with additional chopped green onions for a fresh touch. Enjoy!
