I have generated chicken! Fear me!

With my wife unfortunately away in Springfield, I decided to cook myself some dinner tonight. I found a recipe online for a clone of Long John Silver’s batter, which I whipped up. had stopped by to hang out for awhile so she helped, however we had a little trouble using my deep fryer. Apparently, the batter will fry to the basket, so the first two chicken strips were stuck. After chipping them off, I decided to float the third piece of chicken in the grease and it worked perfectly.

I have to say, the following recipe is a very good representation of LJS’s batter:

LONG JOHN SILVER BATTER

1 egg white
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. oil
3/4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 c. flour

Beat egg whites until stiff. Combine remaining ingredients and add to egg white. Dip fish/chicken in batter, let excess drip off; and deep fry 3 or 4 minutes per side.

Tasty.
