Steps:
- Heat the oil in the pan on medium-high heat.
- Prepare the chicken. Cut 8 two-inch strips (or more if you prefer). Season the meat with about 1/2 tsp salt and sprinkle of white pepper. Then using 1 tbsp of the self-raising flour coat the chicken strips with the flour.
- Prepare the batter. Add the self-raising flour and the salt together. Mix 100g of cold water into the flour. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes as it will rise a little and become a smoother batter. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil into the mix to make it shiny.
- To make the sweet and sour sauce: In a saucepan pour the vinegar and add the granulated sugar in, heat these up on a low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the ketchup, tomato puree and Worcester sauce and mix. Put this to one side as the sauce is now complete and ready.
- Now bring your chicken and your batter to your stove where your oil is heated up. Turn it down to low heat. One chicken strip at a time, place a chicken strip into the batter and coat it. Then put it in to the oil. Repeat this step for the other strips.
- Fry the balls for about 4 minutes until the batter is golden. If the balls are not floating after 4 minutes, leave it for an extra 1-2 minutes. Tip: If you find your batter browning too fast then add more oil to cool it down. Tip: when the balls float it generally means that the chicken is cooked. Use a slotted spoon to take the balls out.
