Do you love Long John Silver’s Chicken Planks like I do? Well, today I have a great copycat recipe to share with you. The trick is in mimicking the iconic Long John Silver batter.
This is the perfect solution, if the nearest Long John Silvers is at least an hour drive away.
Long John Silver’s Chicken Batter
Of course, the most important part of a successful copycat of Long John Silver’s chicken planks is in a nice crispy flavorful batter recipe. This chicken batter has great “puff” to it, and the reports I’m getting are positive on crispness and flavor.
Why not make a big batch of these copycat chicken planks this weekend to enjoy with your family. I’m sure it will make them very happy.
