Preparation
STEP 1
Start with a large dry pan over high heat. Add in the broccoli and let it start to brown.
STEP 2
Then add in 1 tablespoon of water and allow it to steam off. Add in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and finish sautéing broccoli. Remove from pan and set aside.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ¼ cup rice flour, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss with dried chicken pieces.
STEP 4
Clean the pan and add in ½ inch of vegetable oil (about ½ cup) and heat. Fry chicken in batches and set aside.
