Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each breast into strips.

Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold water, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

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

Fry the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered chicken strips into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
