Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with water to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to around 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

While the oil is heating, dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and then coat it again in the flour mixture. Make sure each piece is fully coated for an even batter.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few chicken pieces at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Remove the chicken bites using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Continue frying in batches until all the chicken pieces are cooked.

Step 10

Serve the Soy-Free Batter Chicken Bites warm with your choice of dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
