Quick Chinese-Style Fried Chicken Balls

1. 1

   Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Drizzle in the sesame oil. Gradually whisk in the water until smooth; the batter should have the consistency of cream. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Fill a deep pan or wok with oil and gently heat it to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. 3

   Prepare the chicken: In a large shallow dish, mix the cornstarch and white pepper. Dust the chicken in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it into the batter, coating each piece evenly.

4. 4

   Working in batches, fry the coated chicken in the hot oil until golden and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chicken to a clean kitchen towel to drain.
