Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg chicken tenderloins
2 c instant mashed potatoes (any brand you like)
2 eggs beat
1 tsp salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Have chicken unthawed, beat eggs and dip chicken into egg batter to coat each side, dip into instant mashed potatoes and drop into heated oil until golden brown on both sides. I like to put instant potatoes into a freezer baggy and shake my chicken for the best coating, season with salt and pepper. Portion out for the kids into baggies and freeze and enjoy with their favorite dipping sauce, when ready.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips before battering.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry before battering: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before coating it in batter. This will help the batter adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light touch when coating the chicken in batter: Don't press the chicken into the batter, as this will make it tough. Just gently coat the chicken and shake off any excess batter.
  • Cook the chicken in hot oil: Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil heated to 350°F. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels: After cooking, drain the chicken on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Crispy chicken batter is a delicious and versatile way to cook chicken. It's perfect for everything from sandwiches to salads to tacos. With the right ingredients and a little know-how, you can make crispy chicken batter at home that's just as good as anything you'd get at a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crispy chicken batter a try. You won't be disappointed.
