Need Excellent Recipe for Chicken Strips?!


Question: Am going to use either a cast iron skillet to fry in, or will bake them in the oven. I need a recipe for a good batter, and how to cook them. I like more of a thicker-type breading (like you would find on Long John Silvers fish, for example) rather than a bread-crumb type. Thanks.

I always enjoyed the beer batter recipes for chicken strips or nuggets:

INGREDIENTS
Chicken strips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cold beer

3 cups oil for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS
Rinse chicken, and slice into 1 inch strips. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, and baking powder. Mix in the eggs and beer.
Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place remaining 1/2 cup flour in a small bowl. Coat chicken strips in flour, then dip floured strips into the batter. Fry a few at a time in hot oil, turning once, until coating is golden brown on both sides. Remove, and keep warm until serving.

Here's Long John Silver's batter recipe. (This is a classic Tempura batter and can be used with any kind of meat, vegetable, or even fruit!

1/2 cup Bisquick mix
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 TBL. corn oil
3/4 cup Club Soda or Beer
1/8 tsp. onion salt


Mix ingredients into a batter
-----------------------

1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
Milk
lemon juice
Oil for frying
------------------------

Soak chicken strips in milk with a little lemon juice added.
Drain. Lightly flour and allow to dry on a cookie sheet without letting the pieces touch.

When dry, dip strips into batter, and deep fry (without letting pieces touch) in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer (heat oil to 375°). Fry chicken, a few strips at a time, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serves 6.
