Preparation

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite size cubes, about 1 inch - then season with salt and pepper.

Put the cornstarch into a shallow bowl, then roll the chicken pieces in it. Shake off any excess starch, then dip in the egg mixture and set on a plate. Continue until all the chicken pieces are battered.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken pieces until browned, then place the chicken on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Discard the used oil.
