Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by seasoning the natural chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper on both sides. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the Founders Reds Rye beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Fry the Chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing it in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
