Chinese Brandy Fried Chicken

Total Time: 24 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
• 1/2 cup brandy
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken consomme

• 2 preparation of batter:.
• 3 place dry ingredients in a small bowl & mix well. place the ice water and egg in another bowl and slowly add the dry ingredients to the water. mix lightly but do not over beat. there should be a few small lumps in the batter. dredge the marinated chicken in some flour, then dip into the tempura.
• 4 deep fry the "dredged" chicken in enough oil to completely sink the breast underneath the surface. the oil must be 350 degrees which is the preferred frying temp of most professional cooks. (make sure it's not over-used and too dark, or smoking.).
