Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 500 grams boneless chicken breast
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 500 ml vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken pieces. If too thick, add a little more milk.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 7

Carefully place a few coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.

Step 8

Fry the chicken bites for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Step 9

Remove the cooked chicken bites and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Step 11

Serve the batter chicken bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
