I am so excited to share with you something new and refreshing: my Asian-inspired Crispy Chicken Bites with Wasabi Mayonnaise. Ta-dah! Serve these irresistible hors d'oeuvres up at your next get-together, and they'll be begging for more.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
4 tablespoons five spice powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 tablespoons wasabi paste, or to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cucumbers, sliced into ¼-inch-thick discs

DIRECTIONS

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, and five spice powder. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fill a large, cast-iron skillet about ½ full with cooking oil.

Place over medium heat until very hot; a pinch of flour dropped into the skillet should sizzle. Roll the chicken pieces into the breading and shake off excess flour.

Drop the pieces into the hot oil; do not crowd. Deep-fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Drain the fried chicken and let rest until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite-sized pieces.*

In a bowl, mix the wasabi paste with the mayonnaise. (Add more wasabi paste if you want a bolder kick.) Arrange the chicken slices on the cucumber and add a dollop of wasabi paste onto each piece.

Notes and Substitutions:

*Note: You can also bake the chicken, if you prefer. Place the breaded chicken on a lightly oiled baking dish. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees until the chicken is golden brown and the liquid from the chicken runs clear, about 50-55 minutes. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.
