Step-by-Step Guide to Crispy Chicken Popcorn:
1. Prepare Your Poultry
Begin by cutting your boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, reminiscent of miniature popcorn kernels. This step is crucial for achieving that delightful “pop” in every bite. If you don’t have time, then opt for FreshToHome Boneless Chicken Breast pre-cleaned and pre-cut to mini bite cubes, which are perfect for popcorn. The best part is, it is antibiotic-residue-free.
2. Craft Your Flavourful Coating
In a bowl, concoct your flavour-packed coating mixture by combining all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This magical blend will infuse your chicken popcorn with an explosion of mouthwatering flavours.
3. Egg-cellent Adhesion
Crack open your eggs into a separate bowl and give them a whisk. We’re not just beating eggs here; we’re creating a sticky glue that will help our flavour-packed coating adhere to the chicken pieces. Or skip this and simply crack open egg into the marinated chicken (optional)
4. Coat and Conquer
Now, it’s time to coat our chicken pieces in a crispy blanket of flavour. Dip each succulent morsel into the egg wash, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated, before gently nestling it into the flour mixture. Shake off any excess and place your coated chicken popcorn on a plate, ready for their moment in the frying spotlight.
5. Fry to Golden Perfection
