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.
