There’s something deeply satisfying about that first bite into a piece of fried chicken — the sound of the crust cracking under your teeth, the golden color, the way it holds in all that juicy flavor.
But here’s the thing: not all batters are created equal.
Some come out soggy. Some fall off halfway through frying. And some just never get that perfect crisp.
That’s where this Crispy Batter Mix comes in — a simple, customizable dry mix you can keep on hand at all times for perfectly crunchy results every time you fry.
In this post, we’ll show you how to make your own homemade Crispy Batter Mix — and how to use it with chicken, fish, tofu, veggies, and more.
Let’s get crispy!
