1 egg, beaten
-
⅓ cup water
-
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
Directions
-
Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1x1x1/2 inch pieces.
-
Fill a deep fryer with corn oil, no more than 1/3 full. Heat to medium heat.
-
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.
