Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Prepared honey mustard sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the batter's dry base.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and cold water together until fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour the egg-water mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
Step 4
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for accuracy.
Step 5
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels, then dip each tender into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Carefully lower the battered chicken tenders into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and to maintain the oil temperature.
Step 7
Fry each batch for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining chicken tenders until all are cooked.
Step 10
Serve the Chicken Crispers hot with the prepared honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
