Tempura Chicken On A Stick Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound out the butterflied chicken breasts until thin, and slice them in half lengthwise.
• Prepare a large bowl with some ice water. Place a shallow bowl, for the batter, inside the large bowl; this is to keep the batter cold while cooking the chicken.
• Prepare batter: place beaten egg into a large mixing bowl. Sift flour and cornstarch into beaten egg. Add lemon juice, paprika, baking soda, and salt. Add club soda and mix until ingredients are fully incorporated; a few lumps in the batter will aid in creating an airy texture, so be careful not to overmix.
• Transfer the batter into the shallow bowl sitting on ice water.
• Fill a pan with 1 inch of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until glossy, or until the temperature of the oil hits 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Take the strips of chicken and fully coat them in the batter, adding them to the hot oil in sets of 2 or 3 at a time.
• Cook chicken until golden brown and crispy and no longer pink in the centers, about 2 minutes per side, and transfer to a serving tray.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°F. Line large plate with several paper towels; set aside. Line rimmed baking sheet with cooking parchment or foil; set aside.
• In small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat egg with whisk or fork. Beat in flour, cornstarch, salt and cold water.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven or 10-inch straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium heat to 375°F. Dip bell pepper and broccoli into batter; let excess batter drip back into bowl. Cook in single layer in hot oil 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until coating is crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to pan and place in oven to keep warm. Wait for oil to reach 375°F again between batches.
• Dip chicken pieces into batter; let excess batter drip back into bowl. Cook chicken, in batches if necessary, in hot oil 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until coating is crisp and golden brown and chicken is no longer pink in center. Top chicken and vegetables with green onions; serve with sauce.
