METHOD

  1. In a bowl, combine rice flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and chilli. Season to taste. Gradually add water and juice, stirring
    until smooth.

  2. Heat enough oil to deep-fry in a large saucepan on medium, until a small droplet of batter sizzles as soon as it is added.

  3. Dust chicken in extra flour, shaking off excess. Working in 2 batches, dip chicken into batter, wiping off excess. Lower into oil and cook 5-6 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Season.

  4. Heat extra oil in a large wok on high. Stir-fry vegetables 1-2 minutes. Add wine and stir-fry 1-2 minutes, until just tender. Slice chicken. Serve with vegetables.


TOP TIP
  • A great batter for coeliacs is to use gluten-free baking powder and soda – and it’s light and crispy.
