Notes
This Youtube video was made a few years ago so the Larry The Cable Guy chicken batter mix is no longer in stores. I had substituted it with the Louisiana Chicken Batter mix (Spicy) instead for this recipe. I now use this brand of chicken batter and I highly recommend it. It can be purchased here on my website ! Just click on the photo of the Louisiana Chicken Batter mix located under the Youtube video up above.
