Ingredients
- Oil for deep frying – we used vegetable oil
Batter
- ¾ Cup Garbanzo / Chickpea Flour
- ½ Cup Corn Starch
- ¼ Cup White Rice Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 Cup Water or Chicken Broth
Sauce
- 1 Cup Chicken Broth
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 2 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 2 tablespoon Corn Starch
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Pepper Flakes
- 2 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Chicken
- 4 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
- ¼ Cup Garbanzo / Chickpea Flour
Instructions
- Start heating your oil to 375F – you’ll want at least 2-3″ of oil in your pot or deep fryer.
Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together all sauce ingredients - except sesame seeds - until smooth.
- Heat over medium, simmer until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, set aside while you fry the chicken.
Chicken
- In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, salt, and sesame oil. Add water, stir well to form a thick batter.
- Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes or so, to soften the bean flour.
- Toss chicken chunks with additional garbanzo flour, then dredge in the batter.
- Carefully transfer battered chicken pieces to the preheated oil, cooking in batches. Fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Use a slotted metal spoon to transfer fried chicken to paper towels.
To Serve
- Once all chicken is fried, toss with sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
