I would have thought, use a regular batter recipe but exchange the water for beer.
So: Flour, Eggs, Beer.

This isn't much of a recipie, but it want to be a little lazy, Fry Magic batter is fantastic – especially with beer. It comes in a yellow package with a big rubber duckey on it (you can't miss it). Just follow the directions as far as quantity. I also recommend letting the batter sit for 30 minutes to an hour between mixing and dipping.
This stuff is great. Very easy and very good. Three restaurants I've worked at use it. Way easier than making your own.

We've found that using "Fish Crisp" on our chicken is pretty awesome. They have a few flavours,pretty good stuff! You can get this stuff at the grocery stores. hope this was helpful. they do have a beer batter mix also!

Use a regular beer batter recipe but use cornstarch instead of flour for a much lighter batter

Serve these deep fried beer battered chicken strips with barbecue sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large egg
3/4 cup beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper
3 chicken breast halves; skinless, boneless
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
PREPARATION:
Beat the egg lightly with a whisk. Beat in the beer, then the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cover and let stand for 25 to 30 minutes before using. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over a medium-high heat until oil reaches desired temperature of 360 degrees (or use deep fryer). Using tongs to hold chicken strips, dip in batter; allow excess to drip off.
Remove and carefully lower, one by one, into the hot oil. After about 1 minute, turn the strips. Continue to turn the strips occasionally until they are golden, cooking for a total of 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to to a paper towel lined tray. Pat more towels on top to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with barbecue sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
Serves 3 to 4.

Hope this helps, have a nice meal.
Here is my favorite Beer Batter Recipe.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tspc garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tsps salt I like seasoned salt
2 tsps ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
Mix the dry ingredients together then add the beaten egg and the can of bear. Stir to combine.
I dip/ dredge the chicken in plain flour first then dip it in the beer batter. This helps the batter to stick to the chicken better.

I usually do this without a recipe ,
I get 1 bottle of beer pour it into a bowl add a pinch of salt and flour just enough to make the a batter like the one for pancakes, I would say around 11/2 cups

I don't use beer batter. When I make batter for fish or onion rings I use pancake batter. It's just right not too sweet. It comes out perfect every time.
