Tempura Chicken Ingredients
Method
Tempura Chicken Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches in size.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water while stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
Dip each piece of chicken into the tempura batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
