This was a great recipe to use. I used it to make chicken nuggets as I wanted something different from crumbing them. Will try this on fish next time. -
I tried this batter and it did not turn out the color showing. Mine was very dark. Should I have boiled the chicken first. Alleared it was almost getting ready to burn color. Pan on low setting.

<p>Being a vegetarian, I am continuously trying and making new dishes. One of the main difficulties of vegetarian food is trying to maintain good nutrition without getting bored. Thus, I find it exciting to explore new combinations and genres of foods.</p>
