Tempura Chicken Fingers

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the ice water until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the battered chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the honey and mustard until well combined.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the honey mustard sauce on the side.
