Description

Diese Chicken Balls in süß-saurer Soße sind ein echter Gaumenschmaus! Ich mache sie immer wieder gerne, weil sie so einfach zuzubereiten sind und dabei unglaublich lecker schmecken. Die Kombination aus knusprigem Hähnchen und der fruchtig-würzigen Soße ist einfach unschlagbar. Perfekt für einen gemütlichen Abend mit Freunden oder als Highlight auf dem nächsten Buffet. Die Zubereitung mit dem Thermomix® macht das Rezept besonders unkompliziert und schnell. Probiert es aus, ihr werdet begeistert sein!

Preparing the Chicken Batter

In a separate bowl, mix 125g plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. In another bowl, beat 2 eggs, 160ml semi-skimmed milk, and 1 tbsp groundnut oil together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well to create a smooth paste.

4

Coating the Chicken

Cut 4 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken pieces to the batter and mix, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.

5

Frying the Chicken

Fill a deep saucepan or wok no more than a third full with oil and heat to 170C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds. Carefully lower the coated chicken pieces into the oil, one piece at a time, and fry in batches of five for about 5-6 mins each batch until golden brown and cooked through. If you have a food probe thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 78C. If you don't have a thermometer, cut a chicken piece in half to ensure the juices run clear.

6

Draining and Serving

Drain the fried chicken on a wire rack set over a baking tray lined with kitchen paper, or on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Serve with the sweet & sour sauce for dipping.
