  How To Make Chicken Tempura


Crispy Japanese Chicken Tempura created with handmade tempura batter and chicken breast. Anyone can prepare it at home using basic pantry items. It is very delicious with a dip sauce made from soy sauce.



At home, I like to make Asian-style fried chicken snacks. If you like tempura and crispy fried chicken, you'll love Taiwanese fried chicken, crispy salt and chili chicken, and Chinese chicken balls.


What is Tempura Chicken?


  • Tender chicken breast is encased in a light and crispy batter in this classic Japanese chicken tempura. Tentsuyu is a Japanese tempura dipping sauce 


  • prepared of dashi, mirin, and soy sauce, sugar, and shredded daikon Japanese radish. The tempura batter might vary somewhat according on the family's and restaurant's recipes. Cake flour, corn starch, egg, and ice-cold.


  • Water is a traditional ingredient in Japanese Tempura. In this recipe I am sharing my homemade Tempura with my favorite instant tempura brew.

Why would you like this recipe?


This dish is really simple and straightforward to prepare at home Made using items that can be found in most kitchen cabinets There's no need for pre-made tempura batter.


There are no specific ingredients or equipment required All kids and adults will adore this restaurant-quality airy, non greasy chicken tempura This appetizer is ideal for parties and get togethers.


We need the following ingredients


Chicken: In this dish, I use boneless skinless chicken breast. You may also use chicken thigh as a substitute. Remove any extra fat from the chicken and use a rolling pin or tenderizer to flatten and tenderize it. The chicken should then be sliced into medium-sized thin strips that are approximately 2cm broad and 2 inches long.


Marinade: To marinade, you just need a few hours. Soy sauce, pepper, ginger, and garlic paste/grated are used to season the sliced chicken strips.


Batter: To make a superb airy tempura batter, combine fine plain flour, corn starch, egg, and cool sparkling water. Salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently.


Sauce for dipping: Serving with a fast dipping sauce prepared with Japanese soy sauce, Mirin Japanese cooking wine, lemon juice, sugar, and freshly grated ginger is one of my favorites.


How do you manufacture it?


To begin, blot the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and gently pound it flat with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Then slice into long, thin strips. Strips measuring 1.5 cm broad Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper are used to season the chicken strips. Mix well, evenly distributing the chicken and spices, and marinate for 15 minutes.


Then dust each chicken strip gently with corn starch and put it aside. Fill the frying pan halfway with vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (180°C) on high.


Combine plain flour, corn starch, salt, and pepper in a large mixing basin and stir thoroughly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whipped egg and the cool sparkling water. Gently stir it in. Dip each chicken strip in the batter and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy in a preheated oil.


Take the fried chicken tempura out of the oil and place it on a cooling rack. Fry the remaining chicken strips in the same manner. Cook in tiny batches to avoid overcrowding the oil. Using a mesh strainer, sift the crumbs in between batches.


Advice from the experts


1. Additional brewing infusion can be prepared later and used in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This brew is delicious with both fish and vegetable tempura.


2. The cool sparkling/soda water must be added to keep the batter mix chilled. Refrigerate the batter Make sure you're frying in high-heat oil at a temperature of roughly 350°F.


3. Don't overcrowd the pan, and keep the oil temperature consistent. After each batch of frying, drain the oil using a mesh sieve to remove the crumbs. Do not over-whisk the batter a few lumps are quite OK.
