Copycat Long John Silver's Chicken Planks
Fried in the same great crunchy batter as the fish planks, chicken planks were just as addicting as the fish. And oddly (for me as a kid), just as good with malt vinegar sprinkled on them.

Combine all but the water in a large bowl.
Whisk in the water until the batter is smooth. If too runny add a bit more flour.
For the chicken
Heat a few inches of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375 F.
Working in batches, dip chicken pieces into the batter and turn to coat completely.
Slowly lower the chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 minutes per side.
Remove to a rack to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can use this same batter to make copycat Long John Silver's fish. Just substitute cod for the chicken.
