[Recipe] Beer-Battered Chicken (From MM Ch. 88) (Patreon)

Preemptive Advice: Read the entire recipe first, before you begin, to avoid added difficulty.

Ingredients:

2⁄3 cup – All-purpose flour

1 tsp – salt

1⁄2 tsp – baking powder

1⁄3 cup – beer

1 – egg

Canola oil (or other high heat oil)

2 lbs – boneless/skinless chicken thighs, cut into desired size and shape

Directions:

1. Begin preheating 1⁄2" of oil to 370° F in a skillet, over medium heat

2. In a bowl, mix first three ingredients

3. In another bowl, beat together beer, egg, and 2 tsp oil until fully combined

4. Thoroughly combine dry and wet ingredients

5. Coat chicken pieces with batter (add 1 piece to the bowl and mix with tongs until thoroughly covered)

6. Fry chicken pieces until browned and tender, turning once, half-way through, about 20 min totalNote: You will only. be able to do a few pieces at a time. Do not "crowd" the chicken in the oil, ensuring that no piece in the oil is in contact with any other.Secondary Note: Oil may "splatter" when you add the chicken. Using an ovenmit or glove to hold the tongs can be advised if you are unfamiliar with frying in oil.

–Maintain oil as close to 370° F as possible–

7. It is recommended that you temp check the chicken, ensuring that the center of each piece has reached 165° F, thus fully cooked.

8. Remove chicken from the oil with tongs and place onto a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oil (this keeps the result crisper)

Obligatory Disclaimer: 😅Please be safe and cook at your own risk. In the unlikely event of an oil fire, DO NOT USE WATER to put it out. 

J.L.Mullins and MM do not guarentee your safety while you cook, though we do know this to be a tasty dish, if done according to the above recipe.

Enjoy! 😉
