Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 7 servings

  • 5 large eggs

  • 1 cup white rice flour

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • 1 cup chopped green onions

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • cup cornstarch

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ tablespoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

  • 4 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

  1. Mix together eggs, rice flour, soy sauce, green onions, sugar, cornstarch, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Add chicken; stir to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Working in batches, cook battered chicken in hot oil until golden brown and crisp all over. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain fried chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.
