CHICKEN WINGS IN TEMPURA



Chicken Wings in Tempura image

A simple dish combines interesting flavors: the tempura batter contains turmeric, and the vegetables are scented with fresh herbs. Chicken thighs would also work well, and provide more meat; extend the frying time if you use them. Did you know that no less an expert than Colonel Sanders claimed the meaty portion of the chicken wing was the best tasting part of the chicken?

Canola oil for deep-frying

Zucchini
Tomatoes
Soy Sauce

Steps:

  • To prepare the batter: Mix all ingredients together, then thin with water, whisking in a tablespoon at a time, until it is the consistency of thick pancake batter. To prepare the chicken: Clean the wings and singe off any remaining pinfeathers with a match. Rinse in cold water and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil to 360 F in a deep-fat fryer or deep saucepan. Dip the chicken wings in the batter, then place in the deep fryer and fry until golden, turning once; 3 to 4 minutes total time. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Do not crowd the pan; fry in batches, letting the oil return to temperature between batches. Roll the wings up in paper towels to completely blot. To prepare the vegetables: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the zucchini slices until lightly browned and crisped. Take the pan off the heat and add the tomatoes and soy sauce. Stir together, then stir in the red wine vinegar, herbs, salt, and pepper. To serve: Divide the vegetables among the plates. Add a splash of vinegar to each plate. Place four wings on each and garnish with a sprig of thyme.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are too skinny or have a lot of fat.
  • Marinate the chicken wings: Marinating the chicken wings in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get more creative with your marinade ingredients.
  • Use a light coating of batter: The batter should be light and airy, so that it doesn't weigh down the chicken wings. You can use a simple batter made with flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and water, or you can add other ingredients to your batter, such as eggs, milk, or spices.
  • Fry the chicken wings at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying chicken wings is between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the chicken wings will cook too quickly and the batter will burn. If the oil is too cold, the chicken wings will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Drain the chicken wings on paper towels: After frying the chicken wings, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Tempura chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give tempura chicken wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
