Super light and juicy, these little nuggets of joy are great for grown-ups and kids alike! I serve these with Danny Beason's "Aplebees Honey Mustard Sauce".

Time 29m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon salt-free cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup beer
8 pepperoncini peppers (optional)
1 quart vegetable oil
honey mustard sauce, for dipping (optional)
ranch dressing, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss chicken with 1 1/2 tsp of the Cajun seasoning and 1/2 tsp of the salt. In a large bowl, whisk flour, beer and remaining 1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss chicken and peppers in batter and coat completely.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat oil to 375 deg. Working in 3 batches, drop chicken pieces and peppers into oil, one piece at a time. Fry for 3 minutes, gently stirring halfway through cooking time.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove chicken and peppers from oil and place on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately with, if desired, honey mustard and ranch.
