How to Make Beer Battered Chicken

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of your favorite beer until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (longer is better, up to 2 hours). This allows the gluten to relax for a crispier batter.
3. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
4. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
5. Pour 2 inches of vegetable oil into a large skillet or deep fryer. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
6. Dip each chicken breast into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
8. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
