Chicken balls always have a doughy texture that surrounds the chicken..If it doesn't have that then it's not takeaway style chicken balls and just chicken in a batter...The beautiful doughy texture is shown at the end of the video...Any other way is not correct..

Takeaways and restaurants all use this method..Chicken is pre cooked to ensure it is cooked on the inside..It only takes about a minute for the batter to form and then easily set aside for whenever a customer orders them......It is not possible to do this(twice cooked) using raw chicken and then dipped  in the batter.The balls would have to be fully cooked and cooking them a second time would over cook them hence the reason for the pre cooked chicken...It's only the batter that is half cooked..Chicken is already cooked in the inside
Cooked then on high heat for 1 minute finishes them off
With the chicken pre cooked huge amounts can be made very quickly

Recipe
2 chicken breasts
2 measured cups of self raising flour
One and a half cups of water..Make sure that the batter is of thick consistency..

As soon as the batter starts to form remove them and set aside
Return all your chicken back to the pan for a second time to crisp them up..Done
Once ready you can also add some salt to the balls in the same way you would salt French fries..Only if needed
