Instructions
- 1 Make batter: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in sesame oil. Gradually add water, whisking constantly until smooth; batter should be the consistency of cream. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- 2 Fill a deep pan or wok with oil and slowly heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 3 Prepare chicken: Mix together cornstarch and white pepper in a large shallow dish. Dust chicken in cornstarch mixture, then dip into batter, evenly coating each piece.
- 4 Working in batches, fry coated chicken in hot oil until golden and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Use a slotted spoon to remove fried chicken to a clean kitchen towel to drain.
