Chicken Balls

Chicken Balls:

2 cups cubed chicken(about 2 chicken breasts)

Oil for deep frying

Batter:

1 cup flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup water

For batter: Mix together dry ingredients and whisk in eggs and water. Add chicken. Stir to coat evenly. Use teaspoon to drop chicken pieces in hot oil. Fry until nicely browned,about 3-4 minutes, stirring to brown evenly. Remove from oil with a metal slotted spoon or tongs and place into a dish lined with paper towel.to absorb some of the grease. Serve immediately with your favourite sweet and sour sauce or use my recipe below.

Sweet & Sour Sauce:

3 tbsp soya sauce

3 tbsp water

1/2 cup vinegar

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3-4 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup water

Mix together the first five ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in second amount of water and add to boiling mixture. Cook until thickened. If your sauce does not want to get thick you may have to add a second amount of cornstarch mixed in 2-3 tbsp of water. Sauce is good on the chicken balls as well as the rice.

Sour Cream Biscuits

Sour Cream Biscuits:

2 cups Flour

1 tsp Salt

1 1/2 tbsp Sugar

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

4 tsp Baking Powder

1 1/2 cups Sour Cream

Mix first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Add sour cream and stir to form a soft ball. Place dough onto a lightly floured counter top. Sprinkle a bit of flour onto dough. Pat or roll to desired thickness(1/2 -3/4 inch). Cut into squares with a knife to avoid any waste of dough or use a round cookie cutter. Arrange on a greased baking sheet. Bake @ 375 for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

This is my favorite recipe to use for biscuits...they are easy to make and taste so good!
