Beer battered bird

1 large egg
3/4 cup beer
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste
3 boneless chicken breasts, or the bird of choice!
1 1/4 cups veg. oil

Beat egg with a whisk, then beat in beer, then dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.  Cover and let stand 30 minutes before using. (Waiting is very important)  Cut meat into 1 inch cubes, and get the oil hot for deep frying.  I use an unlit match to test it, if the match ignites when you drop it in the oil, it is ready.  (360 degrees)  Using tongs, dip the meat in the batter until well coated, then deep fry in the oil until done.  Leftovers are best cold.
