Cut 300 g boneless chicken thigh(s) into bitesize pieces and place them in a bowl. Add 1 pn salt and pepper and 1 tb cake flour and mix until the chicken pieces are evenly covered. Crack 1 md egg into the bowl and mix until the chicken is fully coated in the egg. Add the 2 tb potato starch and mix until well incorporated and lump-free. Heat a pan on medium.
