Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken & Batter

  • 16 oz. chicken tenderloins
  • ½ cup rice flour
  • ½ cup potato starch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup water adjust as needed for viscosity

Honey Butter Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp minced ginger

Optional Garnishes

  • Sesame seeds
  • Scallions

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine rice flour, potato starch, salt, and water. Mix thoroughly until smooth and slightly thinner than pancake batter.
  • Add the chicken tenderloins to the batter and coat thoroughly.
  • Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry the tenders for about 10–11 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest briefly.
  • In a separate pan, melt the butter. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and minced ginger, then simmer until the sauce reduces slightly to your desired consistency.
  • Add the fried chicken tenders to a bowl, pour over the sauce, and toss until evenly coated.
  • Plate the chicken tenders and optionally garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
