Pretty good but the flour did not fluff up around the chicken like that of an actual Chinese restaurant.

Raven, sounds like you need to toss your out-of-date baking powder and buy some fresh!

I just made it and it worked, maybe your baking powder is old or maybe you didn't put enough. I actually put more than it said on here and it puffed up.

I'm a culinary graduate and retired chef some recipes are have a little dough around the middle good for dipping I think what you might be looking for is simple replace half cup of flour with a half cup of cornstarch and replace the milk with beer you can also add a couple of tablespoons of sugar which would work for fish also hope that this helps :)

I make this all the time but with tofu instead of chicken. Its the best. I have passed this on to countless friends and they've all loved it!

I really liked this recipe. The end result was just like the real deal in the restaurant! I did end up adding a bit more milk than called for- about 1 cup total. I found the thicker batter (made per the recipe) cooked up rather cakey on the inside. I also found my chicken was still undercooked while my batter was already dark and almost burning. Solution- boil up chicken pieces first ;) . The family really likes them especially my boyfriend.

Took advice from Amanda from Vermont, added a little more milk. Family loved them!

Is there anything other you could use instead of veggie oil? Like butter or something?

I always use peanut oil to fry chicken, like the taste better.

Great recipe! Simple, yet delicious. Only thing that bothered me was that my chicken fingers didn't stay crispy, but I used canola oil for frying and didn't wait until bubbles. Used half the prescribed amount of salt and didn't miss it. I added a little sugar to the batter after I'd fried all the chicken and made sort of a funnel cake for my kiddo. This is one of those fantastic basic recipes that you can use as a starting point for variations. I think next time I might add a touch of sugar and use truffle salt.

This was the best recipe I found. I just love it! I did add 1 more tsp. of baking powder, by mistake, but I got some fluffy fingers! Thank you!!
