CHICKEN WINGS IN TEMPURA



Chicken Wings in Tempura image

A simple dish combines interesting flavors: the tempura batter contains turmeric, and the vegetables are scented with fresh herbs. Chicken thighs would also work well, and provide more meat; extend the frying time if you use them. Did you know that no less an expert than Colonel Sanders claimed the meaty portion of the chicken wing was the best tasting part of the chicken?

Number Of Ingredients 18

All-purpose flour
Turmeric Powder
Cornstarch
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Water
Chicken Wings
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Canola oil for deep-frying
Canola oil
Zucchini
Tomatoes
Soy Sauce
Red Wine Vinegar
Fresh Tarragon
Fresh Thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh Thyme

Steps:

  • To prepare the batter: Mix all ingredients together, then thin with water, whisking in a tablespoon at a time, until it is the consistency of thick pancake batter. To prepare the chicken: Clean the wings and singe off any remaining pinfeathers with a match. Rinse in cold water and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil to 360 F in a deep-fat fryer or deep saucepan. Dip the chicken wings in the batter, then place in the deep fryer and fry until golden, turning once; 3 to 4 minutes total time. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Do not crowd the pan; fry in batches, letting the oil return to temperature between batches. Roll the wings up in paper towels to completely blot. To prepare the vegetables: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the zucchini slices until lightly browned and crisped. Take the pan off the heat and add the tomatoes and soy sauce. Stir together, then stir in the red wine vinegar, herbs, salt, and pepper. To serve: Divide the vegetables among the plates. Add a splash of vinegar to each plate. Place four wings on each and garnish with a sprig of thyme.

CHICKEN TEMPURA



Chicken Tempura image

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!

Provided by Tony Arra

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
½ cup chilled club soda
½ cup oil for frying, or as needed

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.

Time 2h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
10 chicken wings
oil for deep frying
¼ cup butter
¼ cup hot sauce
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt. Place chicken wings in a large nonporous glass dish or bowl and sprinkle flour mixture over them until they are evenly coated. Cover dish or bowl and refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). The oil should be just enough to cover wings entirely, an inch or so deep. Combine the butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir together and heat until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat and reserve for serving.
  • Fry coated wings in hot oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until parts of wings begin to turn brown. Remove from heat, place wings in serving bowl, add hot sauce mixture and stir together. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your tempura chicken wings are flavorful and delicious.
  • Make sure the chicken wings are thoroughly dried before coating them in the batter: This will help the batter adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light touch when coating the chicken wings in the batter: A thick coating of batter will make the chicken wings greasy and heavy.
  • Fry the chicken wings in hot oil: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken wings: This will cause them to steam instead of fry and make them soggy.
  • Serve the tempura chicken wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Tempura chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make tempura chicken wings that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
