Beer Battered Fried Chicken

This recipe couldn't be easier to make. Sometimes you just plain crave some fried chicken. I like cutting the chicken into strips and serving them hot. I am working on a good dipping sauce, but thai sweet chili sauce seems to do the trick for now. Of course, kids will like ketchup...what can you do?

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup all purpose flour
1t baking powder
1T salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cold beer (drink the leftover beer...of course...)
3 cups of oil for frying

Preparation:
Rinse off the chicken and cut it into 1 inch strips. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder, then the beaten eggs and beer.
Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet to 375 degrees and dredge the chicken in the batter before carefully placing in the hot oil. Fry the chicken pieces for 20 minutes, or until chicken is done, turning occasionally. Keep the finished chicken in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
