Steps:

• Combine ingredients-chicken through pepper- and mix well. Pour about 1/2" peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Heat to medium high heat. Drop chicken mixture by teaspoonfuls into hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and fry the chicken bites for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir well. Adjust seasonings to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a little hot water to make desired consistency.
