They say that necessity is the mother of invention. So is boredom...and hunger...definitely hunger. I came up with this idea after coming home from Pennsic 28. I had company who were starving, as was I, and I was in the mood for fried chicken. This is the result. Needless to say, there was none left over. *le sigh*
1-2 lbs package of boneless skinless chicken breasts
1-2 bottles of J.W. Dundees' honey brown lager (or equivalent)
seasoned salt
black pepper
garlic powder
cajun spice
2 1/2 cups of flour or corn meal
cooking oil
Directions:
Wash and place chicken breasts into a microwavable bowl. Using a fork, poke holes in the chicken and then pour the entire bottle(s) of Honey Brown over them. Cover with foil and set in the fridge to marinate for a few hours. Meanwhile, pour the flour or cornmeal into a seperate bowl and add seasonings. Pull the chicken out and drain. Place them one at a time into the flour/cornmeal-seasoning mix. Make sure they are completely coated by the mix. Pour about an inch and a half into a frying pan and turn heat up to medium. When the oil starts to bubble, place the chicken into the frying pan. It should immediate start to sizzle and pop. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Place chicken pieces on a plate with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve with side dishes or salad.
