Recipe View 20 mins Batter and Fry: Working in small batches (3-4 strips at a time), dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the floured chicken into the beer batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully lower the battered chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (15-20 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Drain and Serve: Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

For extra crispy chicken, try using club soda or sparkling water in place of the beer.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken.
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the flour mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.

    I was a bit skeptical about using beer in the batter, but it turned out amazing! My family devoured it in minutes. Will definitely be making this again!

    Easy to follow recipe with great results. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the batter was nice and airy. I recommend using a good quality beer for the best flavor.

  • Cecile Pollich

    This recipe is fantastic! The beer batter is so light and crispy, and the chicken stays incredibly juicy. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour for a little kick, and it was a hit!
