Method
Preparation of Boneless Bites
- 1
Cut the Chicken
Begin by cutting the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 to 2 inches each. Place the pieces in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare the Batter
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add Beer
Gradually add the beer to the dry mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. It should have a thick consistency that coats the chicken well.

Coat the Chicken
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing them on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to reach 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the battered chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken bites and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process until all chicken is cooked.
