Dinner success

 At the moment, we're poor. Living on eggs, sad pasta, more sad pasta, and stale matzoh leftover from passover.  Tonight...we eat like kings!!!!!

Beer Battered Chicken
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of beer (i used blue moon, still left over from our wedding in Sep. 09)
1 cup of flour (i used self-rising cause that's all we had)
1 cup olive oil (didn't have a full cup, used a smidgen of corn oil to make up the difference)
2 eggs beaten
Splash of milk
(all the following to taste)
Roasted Red Pepper Flakes
Paprika
Salt
Pepper
Celery Seed
Thyme
Chives
Oregano

Step one: Slice boneless chicken breasts into one inch strips
Step two: Mix flour with the various herbs, salt, pepper
Step three: beat two eggs in a bowl with a splash of whole milk and one cup of beer
Step four: Add flour/herb mixture to egg mixture and mix well
Step five: Heat oil until smoking hot
Step six: Dredge chicken strips lightly through flour and then into beer/egg/flour/herb mixture, allow to drip and add to pan
Step seven: have a few sips of beer, you deserve it
Step eight: turn chicken in oil after 2-3 minutes, should be golden brown
Step nine: brown other side and remove to a pan lined with paper towels
Step ten: serve with sauce of your choice, ours was honey mixed with sambal olek(pictures), chopped basil, a tiny splash of lemon juice, salt & pepper
yummy yum yum yum.

Accompanied by green bean/onion saute and instant (but real!) mashed potatoes
