I made this dish, but I added red bell pepper, onion, and celery. It was delicious!

Can I ask what does the ice cold water do for the batter? Thanks

Made this for the first time today. OMG! I didn’t have sesame because the store was out, and I had no cilantro. It was delicious the way it was. I think it’s because of the batter and crispiness of the chicken. I will definitely make this again. I can get a few meals out of one chicken breast.

I have made it a couple times now, and it is so good. I love your recipes for being full of delicious, restaurant-level flavor while also being really straightforward and not using 6 billion different ingredients — I think this recipe is a perfect example of that. I almost never fry food, but I still found this recipe easy to follow. I have celiac disease, so used gluten-free flour. It works like a charm! Like another commenter suggested, I added bell peppers when I added the garlic (and also upped the garlic level, just for personal preference). I really like that addition! I bet some stir-fried broccoli would also complement it, if you’re looking for more avenues to add veggies.

I’m not sure why, but when you’re frying up the chicken it feels like you have made an unbelievable quantity of chicken. I started with around 12oz and it truly felt like I had somehow fried a life-time supply of chicken. Do not be fooled by this chicken illusion! It really only made 4 meals worth. This is partly because we went back for seconds, but still. If you’re serving multiple people, I might recommend a double batch. Definitely give yourself some extra time though, since you can’t fry the chicken all at once unless you have an unbelievably large skillet.

It definitely takes longer to make when you’re a less experienced cook, but it’s a perfect dish for special occasions. Made this for Mother’s Day dinner last night alongside rice and your pickled cucumbers recipe. Plus a fruit salad for desert, the whole thing took about 2.5 hours to make. Very feasible for a Sunday night dinner. It was a very big hit, my Mom thoroughly enjoyed it (and of course, so did I)!
