Here's the full recipe - but don't worry, I'll go into detail below.


You'll need...

3 tbsp of cornstarch

1 tsp of baking powder

1/2 c of bbq seasoning

3 C of water

3 tbsp of salt

3 tbsp of pepper



Let's get it started


First things first, we're going to create the marinade for the chicken.


1. Put the following in a bowl:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 3 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 c of bbq seasoning
  • 3 C of water


2. Mix until you get a smooth, thin, pancake batter like mix.


3. Place the marinade and the chicken in a sealable bag for at least an hour .

4.. After the marinating period, preheat the fryer to 325° F (160° C)


Now we'll put together the seasoning.


5. Put the following in a bowl + mix together:

  • 2 C flour (also good with gluten free flour)
  • 3 tbsp of salt
  • 3 tbsp of pepper


6. Take the chicken out of the marinade and coat in in the seasoning mix


7. Drop the chicken into the fryer for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.


8. Top with Off Menu Original BBQ Sauce.
