Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 250 ml Club soda (sugar-free)
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches each.
Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly. Pour in the club soda and whisk together.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Dip the seasoned chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Carefully place a few battered chicken pieces in the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried chicken pieces with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces, ensuring the oil is at the right temperature.
Serve the sugar-free chicken tempura hot, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
