HAWAIIAN MOCHIKO CHICKEN

Hawaiian Mochiko Chicken image

This mochiko chicken is my daughter's favorite thing in the whole wide world. If you have never eaten mochiko chicken then you don't know what you been missing. This is a staple in many potlucks, tailgating and family gatherings. Mochiko is a Japanese sweet flour that makes a light batter. I make this for my family of 8 once a month. I have to triple the recipe and there is never leftovers.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken
1/2 cup mochiko sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour, available in Asian markets)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 stalk green onion, chopped fine
4 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

Bone the chicken if not already done and cut into plump finger-size nuggets and set aside.
Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken. Marinate overnight.
Deep-fry at 350 degrees, keeping the pieces from sticking together. Drain the nuggets of excess oil.
Serve mochi chicken as a main dish with fried rice, potato salad, or macaroni salad, as you would any other fried chicken. It is also great as an appetizer because it is a perfect finger food.
Suggested dipping sauces: pineapple or mustard sauce, hot mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
