Hawaiian Mochi Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

·        2 pounds boned chicken

·        1/2 cup mochiko flour (glutinous rice flour - available in Asian markets)

·        1/2 cup cornstarch

·        1/2 cup sugar

·        1/2 cup soy sauce

·        1 teaspoon salt

·        4 eggs, beaten

·        1 stalk of green onions, chopped fine

·        4 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation:

Bone the chicken and cut into plump finger-size nuggets and set aside.

Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken. Marinate overnight.

Deep-fry at 350 degrees, keeping the pieces from sticking together. Drain the nuggets of excess oil.

Serve mochi chicken as a main dish with fried rice, potato salad, or macaroni salad, as you would any other fried chicken. It is also great as an appetizer because it is a perfect finger food.

Suggested dipping sauces: pineapple or mustard sauce, hot mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
