CHICKEN TEMPURA



Chicken Tempura image

An airy but thick tempura batter for chicken. Delightfully crispy and keeps the chicken wonderfully juicy and tender inside. Great on vegetables or other meats too, and the best part is that it's not as greasy or doughy as other tempura batter recipes!

Provided by Tony Arra

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
½ cup chilled club soda
½ cup oil for frying, or as needed

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.

GLUTEN FREE TEMPURA BATTER



Gluten Free Tempura Batter image

After almost 20 years without sweet & sour chicken balls, I had a eureka moment. I was cooking pancakes, when it dawned on me that the batter was almost thick enough for deep frying, and it browned nicely. All the other recipes I'd tried refused to brown. This batter fries up light and crispy.

1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.

  • Combine dry and liquid ingredients and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • For chicken balls, dip 1/2" cubes of pre-cooked chicken in batter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken. Fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe.
  • Cut the chicken into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Make sure the batter is cold. This will help the tempura batter stay crispy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches so that each piece has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels. This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. Tempura is best enjoyed hot and crispy.
