Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 2 cups corn oil

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ⅓ cup water

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1x1x1/2 inch pieces.

  2. Fill a deep fryer with corn oil, no more than 1/3 full. Heat to medium heat.

  3. Place egg and water in a small bowl and mix well. Add the flour, sesame seeds and salt, stirring until a smooth batter is formed.

  4. Dip chicken pieces in batter and drain off any excess. Add battered chicken, a few pieces at a time, to the hot oil. Fry about 4 minutes or until golden brown and done (remove chicken from oil to test). Drain on paper towels.

Editor's Note

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
