directions

  • Place the peanut oil in a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven and place over medium-high heat. Heat oil until it reaches 375 degrees F.
  • Rinse the squid thoroughly and pat dry. Cut the tentacles in half lengthwise and the tubes into 1/2-inch rings. Set aside.
  • Place the egg, water and flour into a bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine.
  • In small handfuls, dip the squid in the batter and shake off the excess.
  • In batches, gently lower the squid into the hot oil. Cook for 1 minute. The squid will not be browned, but lightly golden in color.
  • Remove the squid and transfer to a cooling rack turned upside down set over a newspaper-lined sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
  • Repeat until all of the squid is cooked.
  • Make sure to check the temperature of the oil before each batch to ensure it is 375 degrees F.
  • Serve immediately.

  1. It kills met ot say this bc I am a HUGE "AB" fan. The cooking temp and time were perfection. The batter is really bland though. It just needs bit more seasoning though it it will be 5 stars.
