CHICKEN BITES TEMPURA STYLE
Yummy! This simple batter is sooo delicious. I upped the amounts of seasoning a bit and it turned out perfectly. Keep in mind that your chicken pieces will need to be small enough to cook properly in the oil. If the pieces are too large, the tempura batter will burn before the chicken is done.

CHICKEN TEMPURA
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!

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.
