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.Â
This is the perfect solution, if the nearest Long John Silvers is at least an hour drive away. You can still have some Long John Silvers chicken tenders!
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.
Serving the Battered Chicken
These chicken planks are great with fries or a nice pasta salad. I like to dunk them in all kinds of sauces... Fry Sauce, Honey Mustard, Ranch Dressing or even homemade Yum Yum sauce. You can even mix restaurants and dunk them in some of my Chick-fil-a sauce recipe!
In the mood for something spicier or bone-in chicken, try my Popeyes Fried Chicken Recipe.

How can I make sure that the coating stays on the chiken?

In my experience this batter sticks well, but if you have an issue lightly coating the chicken pieces in cornstarch or flour before battering should ensure it doesn't come off.
