Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken cut into small 1.5 inch strips

Marinade

Batter

  • ⅓ cup cornstarch for super crispy or fill ⅓ cup halfway with flour and halfway with cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade up in a bowl, add the chicken pieces, stir to coat well and set aside for 20 minutes or longer
  • Whisk an egg and add it into the bowl, mix well.
  • Add remaining batter ingredients and mix, if the mixture becomes too sticky add a small splash of water 
  • Heat oil in a saucepan, at least one inch of oil is ideal
  • When it starts to shimmer add the chicken pieces in one by one, making sure to shake any excess batter off into the bowl 
  • Fry two minutes on each side until golden brown
  • Eat hot with your favourite condiment

Notes

Do keep stirring the chicken pieces in between frying batches so that the batter remains even.
