Chicken Tempura Recipe

Chicken Tempura Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch in size.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice cold water while stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Batter the Chicken

   Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

5. 5

   Fry the Chicken

   Carefully place the battered chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with soy sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
