PANCAKE BATTER FRIED CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside while you make the batter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, remaining teaspoon of salt, remaining ½ teaspoon pepper, the cayenne, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the buttermilk and ⅓ of the water and whisk to incorporate. Add the remaining water, ⅓ at a time, and whisk until no lumps remain.
• Add the chicken to the batter and toss to coat completely.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet and place nearby.
• Working 4–5 pieces at a time, fry the battered chicken in the hot oil for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oil and let drain on the wire rack while you repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon, pancake syrup, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Serve the chicken bites warm with the sauce alongside for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
• Use the mix within 3 months.
• Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
• Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
• Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
• Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
• Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
• Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.
