2 cups apple cider, 500 ml
2 tablespoons butter, 30 ml (or non-hydrogenated margarine)
1 teaspoon coarse salt (optional)
4 apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8 wedges (Empire or Spy)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 15 ml

CRISPY CIDER-BATTERED CHICKEN FINGERS



Crispy Cider-Battered Chicken Fingers image

Believe it or not, the best beer batter isn't made with beer! It's actually done with sparkling apple cider, which produces a light, beautifully crispy, and very flavorful coating. Not to mention it's super easy.

Provided by Chef John

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup self-rising flour
1 ¼ cups sparkling apple cider
1 quart canola oil for frying
⅓ cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast into 6 finger-sized strips, and transfer into a mixing bowl.
  • Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over top and shake the bowl to coat the strips. Toss until all the surfaces are completely coated, and then transfer onto a rack or plate. Place in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes, or until ready to fry.
  • Meanwhile, whisk self-rising flour and sparkling apple cider together in a mixing bowl to form a thin batter. Batter should be somewhere between a thin pancake batter and a crepe batter, but still thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
  • Mix Dijon mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar together for dipping sauce in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Dip each chicken finger into the batter to coat. Deep-fry in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 4 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
