can u fry chicken with corn starch?

Question

i have heard about it been not too sure

Answer 1

I have used corn starch instead of flour for fried chicken. I also like it better than flour for oven-baked fried chicken.

One of my favorite recipes:

Lightly beat one egg in 1/4 cup milk. In separate bowl mix corn starch, seasoned salt and paprika. Dip chicken pieces in milk/egg mixture and then roll in corn starch. Fry in hot shortening, turning as pieces brown.

Answer 3

Yes! Plain cornstarch may brown TOO fast if the chicken pieces are bone-in regular cut up style. I recommend boneless pieces, small in size like chicken tender strips, or small cut up boneless chicken. The Asian way of doing this is to use a "Tempura" batter found in Oriental sections of any supermarket. Make sure your oil is the right temp by dropping a few sprinkles of the batter into your oil. This works well with onion rings as well. I've used it on seafood also. Instead of making a batter, I season my dry tempura and coat the dry mixture on my choice of meat, fish or poultry. You can make a very thin mixture of WATER and egg white to help the dry mixture stick. Don't use milk, as it tends to brown too guickly.

Answer 4

I have never heard of it. I dont think that it would end up crispy. I would go to a recipe website and see if they have a ingredient substitute section and see if you can or not. I wouldnt think so though. Use flour.
