Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces low sodium chicken sausage
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup non-alcoholic beer
- 0.5 cup cold sparkling water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure you use enough oil to fully submerge the sausages.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Slowly add the non-alcoholic beer to the dry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the beer is incorporated, add the cold sparkling water, continuing to stir until a smooth batter forms.
Pat the low sodium chicken sausages dry with paper towels. This helps the batter adhere better.
Dip each sausage into the batter, ensuring an even coat. You may use tongs or a fork to help maneuver the sausages.
Carefully place the battered sausages into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature.
Fry each sausage for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the sausages from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the low sodium battered sausages warm, pairing them with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own.
