CRISPY BATTER FOR CHICKEN OR FISH



Crispy Batter for Chicken or Fish image

Similar to Long John Silvers' batter. Feel free to add some other seasonings, such as garlic powder, lemon pepper, onion powder, even cayenne pepper. This is similar to a tempura batter, so don't try to get too much batter on your fish or chicken pieces. And don't use too big of pieces of fish/chicken or the batter will burn before the food gets done.This is enough batter to coat about 10 medium chicken strips of small fish fillets. Recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
