Black Country battered (orange) chips

NVP · 12 Jul 2017 at 09:27

Orange/Battered chips are the most delicious chips in the world... but what's in the batter?

Has anyone seen them outside of the black Country?

I need to learn how to make them!

What on Earth is an orange battered chip?

e: Oh, just a normal chip with orange batter

Ahhh mate, you're not wrong. There was a little place on Owen Street in Oldbury that my nan used to take me too. They really are incredible.

Definitely battered prior to being fried. I always thought that they had a hint of Paprika to them...

i thought it looked like what you put on potato wedges.

Were they battered? I always thought it was an oil additive.

Nah defo battered, although I think the lard or fat or whatever they're cooked in helps the flavour.

Not sure if it is the same as potato wedges, doesn't taste the same... well not quite.

Where is your favourite Battered chippy?

I got 2, Manor Road by the Wednesbury Ikea, and Majors in Bilston

Not sure if it's still there (I moved from Oldbury around 7 years ago) but the Codfather on Brades Road, Oldbury did great orange chips.
Also the Chip & Whale on Dudley Road West (Tividale) did great fish & chips!

There used to be a place in Brownhills town center that did some amazing orange chips - don't live anywhere near it now so it's a bit of a trek to get to, but they were something else!

Kuros · 14 Jul 2017 at 09:56

Place in bearwood does this, I've always wondered about it myself!

BEST CHIPPY IN THE WORLD. I love battered chips, and being from Willenhall I miss them so much now I don't live in an area that you can get them.

Ace Modder · 14 Jul 2017 at 16:59

NOM NOM!!!!!

Majors is a quality chippy. Nothing like a portion of battered chips. Having moved to Manchester nothing even comes remotely close.
