Beer Batter Fried Chicken
The recipe didn't say whether to leave the skin on or not so I did one piece with the skin on and one with the skin off. I think skin off is better. I think this needed some other spices besides the ones listed because I could taste mostly beer in the batter. I was afraid that simmering the chicken for 20 minutes wouldn't cook the chicken but it was done just fine.

Oh my! I love your pic Frankieanne..it looks crispy & delish! I guess simmering the chicken first, then frying is the way to do this without actually deep frying?

Did you use bone in, or no? That crust looks too good! They almost look like empanadas or something, like in their own little pouches :)

Yes, the fry time is a lot less. Three minutes each side. I was surprised it was done with only a 20 minute simmer.
I did use bone in, ml2c. They do look like pouches, don't they! I used my electric skillet to cook them in.

Oh, those look great. I saw someone steam their chicken and then batter and fry. So Fred would like this because it tastes like beer? I have hope he would eat a piece of fried chicken, then. LOL

If anyone gives this a try, eat it the first day. Its pretty awful cold. I had to take the batter off.
