2 tsp coconut aminos or tamari (use coconut aminos for paleo/AIP)
2 tbsp tapioca flour/starch
About 4-6 tbsp coconut oil for shallow frying
finely chopped scallions for garnish
For ginger garlic paste:
6 large cloves of garlic peeled
2 inch by 2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
RecipeInstructions
To make ginger garlic paste:
Add all ingredients to the smallest jar of a food processor and blend till you get a fine paste. Alternatively use a mortar and pestle to crush to a paste.
Making the Chicken Bites:
In a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and blot dry using paper towels.
Add all the rest of the marinade ingredients (except the tapioca starch) on top of the chicken pieces and sprinkle the tapioca starch on top. Now Mix using your hands to coat the chicken pieces completely.
Add about 2 tbsp oil at a time in a small frying pan/skillet (I prefer stainless steel skillet) and shallow fry the chicken pieces in batches on medium heat until they are cooked well and crispy on both sides(about 3 mins on each side). Drain on paper towels and serve while warm garnishing with scallions!
