Happy Birthday Ryan, A week late... I decided to fix Ryan a special dinner as well as some cupcakes in celebration of Ryan's birthday even though it was a little late. Mandi and I started working on some sweet and sour chicken. I decided to do actual breaded chicken and looked up a recipe online. It was actually super easy to do! And we all thought it tasted really good even though I used whole wheat flour to do the batter. So below is the recipe I used. I used already prepared sweet and sour sauce on top and opened some canned pineapple to go with it. Yummy and oh so easy!
CHICKEN BALL BATTER
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/3 cups cold water
oil (for frying)
8 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
seasoning salt (optional)
In a large bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar; add in water and whisk vigorously until smooth. Add in chicken pieces and mix until well coated. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees. Carefully dip the battered chicken pieces in hot oil and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Remove to a paper towel. Sprinkle with seasoning salt immediately after frying if desired. Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce. Delicious!
