Method

Preparing the Chicken Bites

  1. 1

    Cut and Marinate Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter and Fry Chicken

    Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparing Garlic Butter & Parmesan Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 6

    Sauté Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat once the cheese has melted and the mixture is well combined.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Chicken Bites

    Arrange the crispy chicken bites on a serving platter. Drizzle with the garlic butter and Parmesan sauce.

  2. 9

    Add Dipping Sauces

    Serve with a selection of dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and honey mustard on the side.
