Step 1

Mix all batter ingredients in a small bowl; let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Pour enough oil into a wok or dutch oven so you have 2-inches of oil in the pan measured up the side of the pan.

Step 3

Heat oil to 350 degrees F.

Step 4

Place cornstarch and white pepper in a plastic bag; shake to mix.

Step 5

Add chicken to this bag and toss to coat the chicken with the cornstarch mixture.

Step 6

Remove half the chicken and place it in the bowl with the batter; coat well. You will have to fry in 2 shifts (or more depending on the size of your pan) because of the amount of chicken.

Step 7

Place chicken piece by piece into the hot oil.

Step 8

Fry for 4-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken

Step 9

Cooked chicken may be kept warm in a 200 degree F oven (see NOTES)

Step 10

Chicken will serve 4 as a main, 8 as an appetizer
