Skip the water, sugar, substitute one cold beer, allow to rest overnight in fridge, and you have the perfect beer batter for onion rings.
I worked at LJS and the batter came premade in i think 2lb paper bags and it has a pale orange color. we mixed it with plain tap water and let it sit for a few min. the fish and chicken are fried frozen not thawed.......i dont know where these people came up with club soda and sugar.
I think their might be a tiny bit of cornmeal and a tiny bit of paprika that gives it that orange color. Very little added ....what do you think?
@@chilidog1 corn flour, not corn meal and yes to the paprika.
@@charliep4012 Thank you.
I used this recipe with a little tweak. Also added a little paprika to the flour for more color. Turned out great!
I really love your recipes, always spot on, most recipes aren't worth making. Agree this batter would be delicious tempura for veggies. Something I really like too. Perfect it looks very light. Be blessed and happy cooking
My recipe is very close to yours except I use seltzer water. Really good!
I use paprika and onion powder also. Club soda instead of water.
I like to use ginger ale instead of sugar and water ...
Of course Long John Silvers isn't clean, I mean in Treasure Island. He was a pirate. The long John Silvers out here in Everett , takes forever to make your food. I've seen people walk out.
i've seen several Long John Silvers recipes on here that use club soda rather than sugar and water....i would not use sugar.....LJS doesn't taste sweet......
LJS batter is not sweet. The small amount of sugar just counter acts the other flavors, such as the baking soda.
The mistake I think a lot of people make is that you need to let the batter sit in the refrigerator overnight. So the flavors can meld together in the batter. Otherwise, the taste isnt going to be there.
The Badboy Live not heard that but the taste was wonderful 🤷♀️
@@ModernPioneers I'm sure it still tastes great. Though, you will just get a stronger taste and all the ingredients will have time to fully flavor the batter itself. The longer you leave it sit, the stronger it would be and the better it would taste. I noticed, when I tried some of these recipes, that you could taste the ingredients but they had a much less pronounced taste than that of what you would get at Long John Silvers. When I let the batter sit in the refrigerator overnight, it brought everything out and made it taste that much better. You should try it next time you make this.
I never have to do that and my chicken is spicy af. It’s not this type of batter though. but I’m gonna make it this way and I don’t think I’ll have a problem lol. You just gotta season the chicken dry, season the batter too. And use good seasonings
Your link to go to recipe does not work FYI
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
your food looks so goood ...thanks
Thank you 😋
Pretty sure you can't call an eyeballed recipe a copycat lol
Not saying it wasn't tasty, but i'm pretty sure LJS uses measuring devices and go by a specific recipe.
touche!
Looking awesome!!@!
YUM
I don't understand how people think this taste like Long John Silvers. I cooked in fresh vegetable oil and used everything but black and paprika. There must be something missing . The chickens had no flavor other then chicken flavor
¾ cup Flour
2 tablespoon Cornstarch
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
¾ cup Water
Hi. The recipe link no longer works can you paste it in the chat? Thanks!
Excellent!!! 😁🤑
Also a huge fan of LJS but they are few and far between sadly, so....the gf and I are gonna try this ourselves. Thanks for the video
please let me know what you think
@@ModernPioneers with no disrespect, it was pretty bland. I originally followed a recipe that called for 3/4 flour but upped that to 1c after it wasn't thick enough for me. I also have to have a Lot of seasoning for my taste buds so I added salt even after they were finished. We used Cod, has anyone tried seasoning the cod on top of being battered?
@@thehorseman1806 yea, I get that, my husband can't take much spice and those are easy to add or take off. What about the texture etc. Thanks for the feedback!
@@ModernPioneers We fried them in a skillet with maybe 1/2" oil and just flipped them. The crunch was totally there! I mean yeah, the breading/batter is spot on...just some ingredients are needed for that special taste really. My gf read quite a few opinions (and looked up how Gordan Ramsy does his...shes a huge fan) and I guess a lot of people use selza (spl?) or carbonated stuff in place of the water?? We didn't ad sugar either. For the most part it was good for our first try! I should also mention im a saltoholic so my taste in food would prolly make you spit it right back out ha.
They are really hard to find I miss them
Peanut oil doesn't absorb the odors as much
I did everything exact. It looked beautiful when I finished but it didn't taste right. I had a bad after taste of baking soda. And I actually used less than a 1/4th because I know how bitter baking soda is. Don't even know why it's needed. Next time I'm doing it without baking soda.
Do it with baking soda but replace the water with club soda or beer. It needs to carbonation to taste properly.
Without the club soda isn't this just tempura batter?
I guess....
I was a manager at a Long John Silvers back in 1977. I assure you that there wasn't any club soda. Just water.
@Mike Barooshian It was just a bag of mixed ingredients and water.
Do you change the grease after cooking in these?
use peanut oil.. no cross taste
What type of chicken use
Love your videos❣️ just subed❣️❣️
Oh no! You forgot to make crumbs!
I have a question Any long-time Long John Silver eaters. I mean 20-plus years ago... There was a chicken ranch wrap they had. I remember tomatoes, cornflakes, lettuce, ranch and chicken. Does anyone remember what else there was. I believe it stopped int he late 90s
not heard of that one - interesting though
@@ModernPioneers IT was soooooooo good
I worked there in high school when the wraps came out. it had the following:
Tortilla
Garlic rice base
Chicken
Romain lettuce
Carrots
Tomatoes
Crumbs from batter ( never had cornflakes)
Ranch
I made so many of these I will never forget. Also all these batter recipes I've seen Are never close. Never ever used soda water like some suggest. It was a bagged dry mix with a pre measured amount of water. Also we never used cold water just strait out the water dispenser from tap. Batter didn't like to be cold made it too thick.
@@randyeffler7135 That’s so cool you worked there. We had one by my childhood home all through the 90s and 2000s and used to go there ALL the time up until high school when it shut down. As a kid, I hated fish and would always get the chicken with honey mustard packets and coleslaw. Now I love fish, but still like their chicken better. Never really cared for the fries, but the hush puppies and crumblies were my side dishes basically. The corn on the cob was always so waterlogged, but I liked it anyway 😂 my dad was so cheap growing up with us 3 kids even though we were far from struggling, and we were never allowed to get drinks…only cups of water lol looking back and especially the way the economy is now, I can understand why he tried saving money in areas where it was easy. In the long run, water is way healthier than soda or lemonade, and it’s totally free at restaurants. Crazy haha. Now there are only a handful of LJS in my area, but the closest one is 12 miles away and I haven’t been there in ages ☹️ they are slowly dwindling away and I wish they weren’t. Such a nice alternative to every place else that does the typical burger, fries, and shakes 😒
@@ChillChinCentral Well, it costs SO DAMNED MUCH now to eat out anywhere -- as of 5-1-2023. I used to love LJS, but I'm not gonna spend $10/$12 bucks for a piece of fish and 2 chicken pieces with fries. I'll learn to make it at home. Your Dad was right. SHould show some respect, @Chill Chin.
Baking soda give a bad taste to things

It look just like longjohns
What would it taste like if I used cold beer?

I hate Long John's, frame ups, and work place nepotism.
Box Pancake mix, add egg, water, mix, you are done
Not. Even. Close.
This is not LJS recipe, this is nasty cat wouldn't even eat it.
Um this is not long john silvers batter recipe since there is no root beer and its not heated
