Batter:
- 1 package tofu
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 6 garlic cloves
- 7 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- Wondra Flour
- oil for frying
Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
Blend the batter ingredients thoroughly in the blender til you have a smooth mixture. Cut up chicken breasts into chicken nugget-size pieces and marinate in the above mixture in the fridge overnight.
If it is cold enough, we keep the chicken in the garage. If you keep it in the fridge put a good seal over the chicken and sauce because this stuff has a strong smell!!
Before cooking stir 2 eggs into the mixture and thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in “Wondra” flour. Deep fry at about 350 degrees until pieces are brown and completely cooked.
We love dipping this Mafa Chicken in honey mustard sauce, but it tastes great in a variety of sauces, including:
- Sweet and Sour Sauce
- Hot Mustard
- BBQ Sauce
- Fry Sauce
