Chili Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

2

Make the Tempura Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, rice flour, and ice water. Whisk until smooth to create a tempura batter.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

4

Fry the Chicken

Dip each piece of chicken into the tempura batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Prepare the Cucumbers

Slice the cucumbers thinly and set aside.

6

Serve

Arrange the fried chicken on a serving plate, drizzle with chili sauce, and garnish with sliced cucumbers and chopped green onions.
