sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

400 gr of chicken breast cut into small pieces (nugget size)

1. Place the oil for deep-frying in a saucepan or deep-fryer and heat to 180ºC.

2. Meanwhile place flour and beer in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then gently stir to obtain a sticky batter. Don’t worry if there are lumps.
