Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 chicken breasts (8-10 ounces each)
- 2 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbs 5-spice powder
- 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- Oil for frying
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour (make this by grinding oats in your blender)
Instruction
- Cut the chicken breast into bite sized pieces
- Combine egg yolks, 5-spice powder, ground black pepper, sugar, and salt in a bowl
- Put chicken in, and stir to coat chicken
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to let chicken absorb flavors
- Remove chicken from marinade and toss in oat flour or any flour you have. I love the oats because it makes it crunchier, and offers a different texture and flavor, but potato flour works too, or traditional flour if you don't need to be gluten free.
- Heat oil in fryer or deep fry pan, you want it hot but not smoking, try a medium heat
- Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through
- Remove from oil and place on paper towel to catch excess oil
- Deep fry basil leaves by putting them in the oil for about a minute per side, just be careful as they will cause the oil to pop.
- Toss together and serve immediately over rice
