Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cold water
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1- to 1.5-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and white pepper. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cold water to form a smooth wet mixture.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring as you go, to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.

Step 6

Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer.

Step 7

Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 9

Serve the Mar Far Chicken hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet and sour sauce or soy-based dips.
