This Beer Batter Fried Chicken recipe will change your life

A big thanks to Napoleon Grills for sponsoring this episode .

I'm going to use this to turn this into this .

I love it when I worked hard .

And at the end of the day , I'm tired and I open up a bottle of beer .

I fill up my glass and then take that first sip .

That's just a magical moment .

And that's the power of beer .

And why not combine that power of beer with a recipe of chicken ?

We're gonna use some amazing beer .

I selected the best beer and we all know great beers come from the Netherlands , not Belgium or Germany or whatever place you prefer real beer from the Netherlands .

So , what else do I love ?

I absolutely love the combination of smoking and frying chicken .

So that's the moment where my head explodes .

And I start thinking , what if I put that beer inside of my smoked and fried chicken ?

Now that's magic .

This is a perfect chicken to mix with beer .

It's free range and it's full of fat .

You might wanna use a strong knife to cut through the bones .

Once you end up with these four quarters , it's time to start working on seasoning , starting with one part salt , half a part paprika powder , half a part cocoa powder , half a part onion powder , a quarter part garlic powder .

And to finish it off 1/8 part of cinnamon powder .

Now mix it up and Sprinkle it on the chicken .

Make sure to dust it properly .

Then you set it in the fridge for at least two hours for the flavors to blend .

Let's make the perfect beer fried chicken dip sauce .

500 mL of sunflower oil , two whole eggs .

A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar .

A pinch of salt , some fresh ground black pepper and then use your emergent blender to turn this into a mayonnaise .

Now I'm gonna chop fine .

Some chives , add that to the mayonnaise and then I'm gonna add two tablespoons of our barbecue rub .

Now we're gonna mix that all up and that's how you make the perfect beer fried chicken dipping sauce .

When the chicken is ready , it's time to fire up the Napoleon grill .

This is one of my absolute favorite gas grills and let me show you how easy it is to smoke chicken on this grill .

So I'm gonna turn on the two left burners .

Then I'm gonna take a piece of smoking wood .

This is beech tree and I absolutely love beech tree for smoking chicken and I'm gonna place this on the Flavor RR bars off my gas grill and because of the Flavor RR bars , it won't start burning , but it will start smoking because beach is a really dense tree .

It's so hard that it almost doesn't catch fire .

But if it does just turn off the burners and the fire will stop .

And now I'm gonna place my chicken in the right top side where we're gonna have smoke and indirect heat .

I'm placing the skin side down so the skin acts like a shield and at the same time holds the juices in .

That is exactly what I'm looking for .

A nice hint of smoke that's going to work its way up to my chicken slowly smoke my chicken while it's warming up and getting ready to be fried .

This is a good moment to start thinking about what you're gonna use as a frying agent .

You could use a plant based oil or lard .

But what I like to do is take the trimmings of a brisket and render them down in a cast iron pan until you have beautiful beef Dell .

This stuff is pure magic .

It has the beautiful beefy flavor and it's gonna make your chicken taste very rich .

When the chicken is starting to take on smoke color is the time that I start thinking about my breading station .

However , I'm gonna use beer .

So that means I gotta make it better .

Starting with 400 mL of beer .

I'm using a super amazing dark brown Dutch beer .

Then I adding around 300 g of all purpose flour followed by three eggs , two tablespoons of sunflower oil and a pinch of salt .

And then your bed , it should look like this .

But if it's not thick enough , add more flour when the chicken hits a core temperature of 75 °C , you know , it's done .

And then it should have picked up a lot of smoke color and it should be crazy .

Juicy .

Look at that and then I'm just gonna quickly dip it in .

Get better on my chicken , let it drip and then drip it in the oil .

I'm running my brisket at a temperature of 100 and 75 °C .

This is gonna make my better crispy and golden brown at the same time .

Remember those chicken pieces are super juicy .

So they're gonna fight the better and you need the higher temperatures and once the chicken hits the right color it's done .

So we cut up the chicken and seasoned it dry , brined it in the barbecue , rub , smoked it on a napoleon gas grill .

Made it better .

Made a barbecue sauce .

Fried it up and there you have it the best looking chicken in the barbecue industry .

So , sit back , get your beer out , dip your chicken and enjoy the feast .

Ah , I'm sorry , I'm sorry , I do apologize for my behavior , but that's what happens when you make chicken .

That looks this good .

All right .

There we go .

00 , my God .

Oh , this is amazing .

This is such a big piece already .

It's still dripping out .

It's been laying here for five minutes and what don't disturb me .

I'm really serious .

Now .

That literally is ridiculous .

And it's kind of like the , the beer better is totally different compared to uh , the , like , the breading station is like no comparison .

And the chicken is just so juicy .

I've never tasted something so fluffy juicy .

Then there , then crispy at the same time , all those years , I thought I was a deep fried fan .

But now I truly know what it means to have deep fried chicken .

This is real deep fried chicken .

And the best thing is we bear , we're gonna just start a , a frying chicken .

Only fried chicken is just too good there .
