I’m going to use my heavy wok on my NuWave PIC Flex Induction plate, because the med/high heat averages 375F. You want to make sure your vegetable oil is heated up to this temperature before adding the beer battered chicken. You might want to put a thermometer in the oil to double check. Depending on how big your wok or pot is, you’ll need to have enough oil to submerge the chicken. Fill between 1/4 and 1/2 full.
While I’m heating the vegetable oil, I’ll make the batter. The beer batter ingredients are:
1 1/2 cups rice flour or any other non gluten flour
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
12 oz cold gluten free beer
You need a batter that’s thick enough to coat the chicken, like pancake batter. Whisk the flour into the remaining ingredients a little at a time to make sure its a smooth consistency, not lumpy.
This recipe serves 4, so you’ll need 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (1 per person), cut into bite size pieces. Total Time: 20 minutes. To garnish you can slice up a couple green onions and top with sesame seeds.
Next make the blood orange sauce. The ingredients are:
1/2 cup blood orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons agave
1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt, to taste
Whisk together all ingredients in a medium size saucepan and bring to simmer on low heat until liquid reduces by 1/4th, remove from heat. Set aside.
Directions:
Add the pieces of chicken to the batter until you get a good coating then carefully drop them into the hot oil, adding 7-8 pieces at a time. Fry until they are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Stir the oil while the chicken is frying will insure the chicken is cooked evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is done.
While the last batch is frying reheat the blood orange sauce. In a large bowl combine the chicken with the sauce, toss to coat. Serve with slices of green onions and sesame seeds. Yum Yum!
A NuWave PIC Flex Induction is available at Walmart. I use mine a lot and love it
