What it is

Tempura chicken is chicken that has been coated in a light batter and deep-fried. The batter is typically made from flour, water, and sometimes egg, creating a crispy coating. It is commonly found in frozen and pre-prepared meals.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tempura chicken as a protein component in various dishes, particularly frozen meals and appetizers. The crispy coating adds texture and flavor, making it appealing in sweet and sour, General Tso's, or orange chicken preparations.

Health notes

Tempura chicken is a food product and not subject to additive regulations. Its health implications are related to its nutritional content, including protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and the cooking method. The FDA does not set specific intake limits for this type of food. JECFA and EFSA have not evaluated tempura chicken as a specific ingredient.

Allergen info

Tempura batter often contains wheat, a major allergen. Depending on the specific ingredients used in the batter and any sauces, other major allergens like egg or soy may also be present. Gluten is present due to the wheat in the batter.
