Chicken Balls

(from largomason’s recipe box)

If gluten is not an issue with you, feel free to replace the rice flour blend with 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour mix (6 parts rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch)
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups cold water
  • oil (for frying)
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks (you should get about 3-4 dozen pieces)
  • seasoning salt (optional)

Directions

  1. In a bowl combine rice flour mix, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and water until smooth.

  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees.

  3. Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, then drop in hot oil and fry until golden and the juices run clear (about 5 minutes).

  4. Remove to a paper towel.

  5. Sprinkle with seasoning salt immediately after frying if desired.

  6. Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce.
