Have readers already learned how beer can help when cooking?

If you marinate meats like pork, beef, and chicken in a little bit of beer for about an hour, the meat becomes softer and tastier to eat.

For those who want their fried chicken to be extra tender when frying, we're sharing a recipe using beer batter for frying.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 12 tablespoons of beer
  • 128 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

  • A little ground black pepper
  • 3 pieces of chicken breast (bones and skin removed)
  • 20 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Steps to make it

1. In a large bowl, beat the egg well. Then add the beer, flour, baking soda, salt, and ground black pepper, and mix thoroughly until well combined. Once done, cover the bowl and let it rest for about 25 minutes.

2. Cut the chicken breast in half through the middle. If the pieces are too large, you can cut them into three or four pieces.

3. Heat a pot and add oil. Then dip the chicken pieces into the beer batter. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and fry for about one minute.

Once the chicken pieces turn golden brown, flip them to the other side and fry for another 3 minutes.

Once everything is fried, you'll have delicious beer-battered fried chicken ready to enjoy.
