- Remove chicken from the marinade and dredge in flour, remove the excess then dip into the beer then back into the flour
- After the chicken has been floured twice place it in the hot oil and fry for approximately 15 minutes in a deep fryer
- If shallow frying turn after 7 to 8 minutes
- The chicken is finished when the internal temperatures reach anything above 165/ 170 degrees
- While the chickens are frying take the second bottle of beer and pour into a sauce pan reduce to a thick sauce, do not allow it to reduce too much or else it will become too hard and sticky like a toffee
Greedy tips:
- You really have to watch the beer as it reduces it goes from 0 to 100 quicker than Drake. So let’s not waste bottles of beers like I did :)
