Wouldn't you like to prepare your crispy chicken balls at home, by yourself, without additives and in a healthy way? In terms of taste, it is no different from the ones offered in chain chicken restaurants. You just have to pay attention to a few details. We don't think anyone would say no to this super snack. Bon Appetit!
Cut the boneless and skinless grilled thighs into approximately 5x5 cm pieces and season with salt and pepper. Mix it with 2 tablespoons of milk and let it rest in the refrigerator.
For the coating mortar (for tempura), first chill all the ingredients and mixing bowl thoroughly in the refrigerator. Prepare lots of ice. The fact that the coating is crispy and does not absorb oil depends on the good cooling of the material and the container to be used.
Mix the cooled starch, flour, egg and soda in the chilled mixing bowl with a fork without whisking and take it back to the cabinet. Do not try to break open lumps of flour. It will rise better.
Make plenty of ice water in a larger bowl and place the coating mortar in this bowl. Preheat the oil in a deep pan and remove the chicken from the cabinet.
When the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces that you dip into the cold slurry, without compressing it too much and without cooling the oil, piece by piece, until it turns golden and remove it on a paper towel. Serve hot with any dipping sauce of your choice. Bon Appetit!
Note: If the slurry gets hot during frying, take it back to the fridge and cool it thoroughly.

Chicken Leg:
Chicken thigh offers high-quality protein for muscle development. With B6 and B12 vitamins, it supports energy metabolism and contributes to nervous system health. While containing less saturated fat than red meat, it strengthens immunity with iron and zinc. Its collagen content is particularly beneficial for skin and joint health. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and herbs such as thyme and garlic.
Corn Starch:
Corn starch, derived from corn kernels, is a neutral-tasting natural thickener that adds consistency to sweet and savory recipes. It's a quick energy source and, being gluten-free, is an ideal alternative for celiac patients and those following a gluten-free diet. It's easily digestible and may be suitable for some sensitive stomachs. It pairs perfectly with fruits, dairy products, and flavors like vanilla and cocoa. It provides a smooth texture, especially in sauces, soups, and desserts.
Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Sparkling Water:
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) neutralizes stomach acid, alleviating indigestion and reflux. Used as a mouthwash, it eliminates bad odors and gently cleans teeth. It also helps soothe skin irritations and insect bites. Typically consumed or applied mixed with water. It reacts with acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar, making it effective in cleaning too.
Black Pepper:
Black pepper, a kitchen staple, offers not just flavor but also significant health benefits. Thanks to piperine, its active compound, it boasts powerful antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals. It can stimulate the digestive system, enhancing nutrient absorption and notably increasing the bioavailability of curcumin found in turmeric. Additionally, it's effective in reducing gas and bloating. It also has a mild metabolism-boosting effect. With a wide range of uses from red meats to poultry, vegetable dishes to soups, it pairs excellently. It harmonizes perfectly with spices like cumin and coriander, as well as ingredients like lemon and garlic, adding depth to dishes.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Milk:
Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
Powdered Red Pepper:
Ground Red Pepper, due to its capsaicin content, can boost metabolism and aid in fat burning. Rich in powerful antioxidants and Vitamin C, it may exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. It adds flavor to a wide range of dishes, from legumes and meat to soups and vegetable-based delights.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
