INSTRUCTIONS
Skin and bone chicken; cut in 1-inch cubes. Blend flour, water and salt to a batter. Dip chicken in batter to coat. Heat oil. Add chicken and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling. Serve with "Basic Pepper-Salt Mix" or "Sherry-Soy Dip for Deep-Fried Chicken" (see recipes). NOTE: Although white meat is generally used for this dish, any part of the chicken, boned and cubed, can be used. VARIATIONS: In step 2, prepare the batter with 1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sherry and 1/2 tablespoon vinegar. Or omit the batter. Dip chicken cubes instead first in egg white; then dredge lightly with cornstarch. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
