A common ';beer'; battter recipe for deep fried chicken to use at home?

I'm going to try and deep fry boneless chicken breast in the deep fryer, but am tired of tthe flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs thing. Is there an easy recipe to batter foods rather than ';bread'; them? And what should the temp. be as not to burn the batter?A common ';beer'; battter recipe for deep fried chicken to use at home?
simply take some basic flour add whatever spices to it you want, I add paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, add ice cold beer so you have like a paste, you can even add some ice cubes. The colder your batter is the crispier your breading will be. The coldness reacts to the heat of the oil and crisps up. You basically want your oil around 350-375.A common ';beer'; battter recipe for deep fried chicken to use at home?
The fryer should be set at 350 degrees





for the batter mix together, it should be the consistency of pancake batter you can adjust it with more flour if it is to wet or a little water if it is to dry.


3 cups flour


1 tsp Baking Powder


1 tsp Corn Starch


2 Cans Beer


1 tsp Salt


1 tsp Black pepper


1 tsp Garlic Powder





Coat the chicken in corn starch first and then dip it in the batter and then in the fryer, cook it until internal temp. of 165 is reached
