Mix liquid ingredients in a mixing bowl.
3
Stir in herbs and spices.
4
Pour over chicken.
5
Marinade in refrigerator for 2 hours.

Batter preparation:
7
Place 3 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl. Set the other two cups aside for later.
8
Mix in 3/4 tsp salt.
9
Pour in 2 cups beer and whisk until evenly mixed. The mix will be thick.

16
Heat oil in a frying pan to just before the smoke point (temperature varies by oil type). If the oil is smoking, reduce heat.
17

18
Let cook for 5 to 7 minutes undisturbed and gently flip. Repeat process until the chicken pieces have reached an internal temperature of 170 degrees and is golden brown. It is important to let the chicken cook undisturbed, only moving it to flip.
