Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Club soda
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the club soda. Mix well.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and fully combined, creating the batter for the chicken.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
Step 6
Dip each chicken piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken bites are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
