Mochi Fried Chicken

The author writes: "This Island version of fried chicken is named for the rice flour with which it is made. It is also enhanced by the sugar, soy and green onions which go into the egg batter."

Yields about 40 pieces 

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boned chicken
  • 1/2 cup mochiko flour (glutinous rice flour - available in Asian markets)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 stalk of green onions, chopped fine
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation:

Bone the chicken and cut into plump finger-size nuggets and set aside.

Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken. Marinate overnight.

Deep-fry at 350 degrees, keeping the pieces from sticking together. Drain the nuggets of excess oil.

Serve mochi chicken as a main dish with fried rice, potato salad, or macaroni salad, as you would any other fried chicken. It is also great as an appetizer because it is a perfect finger food.

Suggested dipping sauces: pineapple or mustard sauce, hot mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
