Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1 Egg
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
- 3/4 pound Chicken breast boneless skinless cut into thick strips 1 inch wide
Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1/2 cup Water
- 3 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Cornstarch dissolved in an equal amount of water
Instructions
- For the sauce: Pour water and vinegar into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in sugar, red pepper flakes, ketchup and cornstarch/water mixture; simmer for 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Toss the chicken in some flour to coat then set the chicken aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the egg, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and pinch of salt.
- Slowly add water to the flour mixture until a thick pancake like batter forms.
- Heat the oil in a pot on medium heat to 350 degrees.
- Dip the chicken into the batter to coat completely (allowing the excess batter to drip off) and then slowly immerse the chicken into the hot oil. Work in batches if needed as to not overcrowd the oil.
