Beer Battered Buffalo Chicken

I found this recipe off of Reddit.com/foodporn! Thank you!

Below is the exact recipe list of ingredients posted from Reddit/foodporn, I changed a few things for my cooking experience! 

What You Need:

5 Chicken breasts

Baking soda

Flour

Salt and Pepper

Garlic powder

2 Eggs

1 1/2 can Beer 

Worcestershire sauce

White vinegar

1 Stick of Butter

Cayanne pepper

Franks buffalo sauce

Tabasco

Canola oil for frying/vegetable oil-- your choice

---

Batter

1 cup flour (Gold's)

1 tsp baking soda

Mix these together in a large bowl

2 eggs (I used 4 since I was cooking for more people)

3/4 cup of beer (I used Yungling, almost a full can)

Pinch of salt and pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

​Whisk these together in a medium bowl. 

Heat up your oil, until it is heated and fluid as you move the pan around. Dip your chicken strips in this order; first the flour, then the egg beer mix, then flour (repeat again for a double battered chicken). Into the hot oil they go!

Let each side get a nice light golden brown. Once fried to your desired look (and once the chicken is white all the way through, drain on a paper towel. Allow the chicken to cool. 

Sauce

1/2 cup of Frank's  (I used Frank's Buffalo)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick ) (and a few smaller pieces I added)

2 tbsp white vinegar

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ( I used a small dash of paprika instead since I did not have cayanne)

Pinch of salt

Dash of Tabasco (I used a bit more than a dash)

You can make this before frying the chicken so it has time to cool. 

Add the above to a medium stove pot, keep on a low heat and stir frequently. Add the butter first so it melts, then add in everything else. 

Simmer on a low heat until it has thickened a bit, about 10 minutes.  

Once cool, add to a large freezer bag. Then add in your fried chicken into the bag, shake well and coat.

Extra step I added for a different texture!

Pre heat the oven to 350°, using a cookie baking sheet, place the coated buffalo chicken onto the baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes.

Check often, I did not let mine get as crispy as I wanted because I had a group of people that were very hungry!

Serve with some blue cheese on the side (optional) and you are set!

For my sides, I made potato salad and broccoli for a complete meal! 

Ready for the oven!

Complete Meal!
