    beer batter

    It's an American recipe, so involves cups
  • thanks for the beer recipe.

    just a quick question with the chicken stirps would you do this with cooked or raw chicken?

    if you deep fried raw chicken would it cook properly?

  • Just a thought- all kids seem to like those bernard matthews roasts and netto have the turkkey leg roasts for 99p. If they like a yorkshire pud and a couple of carrots you're away!
    If you look on https://www.recipezaar.com for funnel cakes that batter actually makes a very good batter for chicken almost like the chicken balls you get from the takeaway -one tip is to deep fry them fairly slowly at first.

    I'm sorry but it just has to be said, it beats me why you had to have chicken nuggets for part of your Christmas dinner!

  • we didn't have chicken nuggets ::) we had chicken breast cut into strips and done in tempura batter with home made dips.

    main reason was so we didn't have to make umpteen different starters due to fussy guests.
