Chicken in batter is prepared in different ways, and the result is always perfect. Wings, legs or fillets are tender, ruddy and fragrant. To prepare a dish, you only need to determine for yourself the best dough recipe that will help create an excellent treat.
The simplest batter for chicken is made from three basic ingredients – eggs, flour and milk and supplemented with all kinds of spices. It is responsible for the juiciness of the meat, so during the cooking process you need to monitor its consistency, it should not be too thick or liquid. To make the crust more crispy, the flour is partially replaced with starch.
Another option is to replace milk with mayonnaise. But vegetable oil is added. Such a batter turns out to be quite thick.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
