I used Drakes batter instead of making my own. After I deep fried the chicken, I heated one stick of butter and two cups of Franks hot sauce then coated the chicken with it. I also made some in honey bar-b-que sauce. They are delicious and the whole family loves them!!

although this sounds like it would be great it fell a little short for me.i am going to try this again with some tony's cajun seasoning mixed in. i found it to be just too bland and the batter was too mushy not crunchy at all. me being a southern girl i like big flavors and if its fried chicken of any kind i think it should be crunchy. i did try to thicken the batter with a little four but that didn't work well.i think this a great idea but definately not for pickey people like me.

the base recipe is perfect. it makes perfect beer battered chicken, but i read that it was bland, so i always add seasonings that i like- to the chicken when in strips, to the flour to dip chicken in, as well as the batter for some kick- i add cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and some seasoning salt. I also add a bit more beer, maybe more like 2/3c than 1/2c.

This was just okay for me. Others liked it more than I did, so I gave it four stars instead of three. It really was bland, despite seasoning as soon as I removed it from the oil. If I make this again, I will season the chicken, the flour, and the batter. I did let the batter rest about 30 min. before using.

Really good. Received rave reviews from my parents. I added some salt, pepper, southwest chiptole seasoning and a tad bit of fresh orange juice to the batter. Would be great batter for fresh fish as well. Great recipe!

I ran out of batter and just fried the rest of my strips with nothing but the dredge on them... tasted better anyway.

If you are looking for a crispy, crunchy breading this is NOT it.

Even seasoning up the batter with seasoned salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder left it a little bland. The crust got hard in the oil and soggy once it was drained. For the record, I used water instead of beer, so that could be part of it, but I was looking for more of a restaurant-style chicken tender batter.

I do not recommend using Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. I am going to try this again with a different beer I am sure it will turn out better

This is a good recipe. I added lemon pepper seasoning and garlic salt to the dry flour mix. You definitely want to shake, rake or something to get some of the batter off as it "puffs" up when it cooks.

Great fun for the kids. I put chicken breast sliced into chunks onto bamboo skewers and used the beer batter. Everyone loved it.

Was a very good batter, I do agree it was bland and I did let is sit awhile before using. All it needed was some black pepper and onion to spice it up. Thanks!

the recipe is great! The only problem is you might want to cook the chicken first before you fire it it will go quicker.

I followed the recipe almost exactly except i added a whole can of beer and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. This recipe still turned out very very bland. I probally wont make it again.
