Instructions

  1. 1 Cut chicken breasts, horizontally, through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open breasts like a book; place between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound butterflied breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet until thin. Slice breasts into half lengthwise.
  2. 2 Fill a large bowl with some ice water. Place a shallow bowl, for the batter, inside the large bowl to keep the batter cold while cooking the chicken.
  3. 3 Place beaten egg into a large bowl. Sift flour and cornstarch into beaten egg; add lemon juice, paprika, baking soda, and salt. Stir in club soda until incorporated; a few lumps in the batter will create an airy texture, so be careful not to overmix.
  4. 4 Transfer batter to the shallow bowl set on top of ice water.
  5. 5 Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until glossy and reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Fully coat chicken pieces in batter, carefully lowering into the hot oil, in 2 to 3 batches.
