Long John Silvers Chicken Planks
Recipe Description
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken tenders
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 16 ounces club soda
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
If you are not using a fryer, heat up 8 cups of vegetable oil in a heavy pot until the temperature reaches 350 degrees. Make the batter by combining flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, onion salt, paprika, ground black pepper. Stir to combine all dry ingredients. Add club soda to dry ingredients. The batter will foam, continue to stir.
Drop pieces of chicken into the batter. Coat chicken with batter, drop into hot oil. Fry chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the batter is golden and the chicken pieces begin to float to the top of the oil. Drain chicken on a wire rack.
Notes/Comments
Make sure the oil gets up to about 360 to 375 degrees. You will need to pat the chicken tenders with a paper towel, and dunk them into the batter and allow a lot of the batter to drip off.
Then you will want to gently lay the chicken into the frying basket. You want the batter to cook for a moment or two as the chicken is laid into the basket. This way the batter won’t stick to the basket.
The chicken is done when it begins to float, this takes about 5 to 6 minutes. You will need to flip the chicken over while it is cooking so both sides cook. I know you will really enjoy these chicken planks.
