Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Breast

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. If grilling, brush with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Beer Batter (if choosing beer battered chicken)

  1. 3

    Prepare the Beer Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth.

  2. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip the seasoned chicken breasts into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    Wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato and red onion.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Phoenix

    Place the grilled or beer-battered chicken on a plate, top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Serve with your choice of Chipotle Mayo, Mayo, or Hot Honey on the side.
