Popcorn chicken is a perfect snack or appetizer that's loved by many. This recipe combines a crispy, flavorful coating with juicy, tender chicken pieces. With a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can recreate this tasty treat at home.
- Cut the chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken by dipping it into the egg mixture and breadcrumbs twice.
- Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying to help the coating stick better.
- Use a cooking thermometer to maintain the oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) when frying to get that perfect golden-brown color.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.
- You can bake the chicken instead of frying for a healthier alternative; preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
And there you have it—homemade popcorn chicken that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy! This recipe is not only easy to follow but also ensures that you have delicious and healthier popcorn chicken compared to store-bought versions.
