Method
- Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper and whisk together.
- Gradually pour in the beer while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
- In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.
- Coat each chicken breast in the batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Carefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken and place it on paper towels to drain off excess oil.
- Once cooled slightly, serve your Beer Batter Chicken hot.
Notes
Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken; otherwise, it can become greasy instead of crispy.
