How to Cook Popcorn Chicken
As you can see in the video and on the recipe below, making your own popcorn chicken is simple. Start by having all the ingredients on hand. Combine the flour mixture starting with the all-purpose flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure that these are well blended. Slice the chicken breasts into cubes. You can sprinkle some salt on the sliced chicken breasts to give it more flavor, or you can leave it without salt and rely on the spices in the flour mixture. The recipe below does not call for salt to be sprinkled on the chicken, but you may sprinkle a pinch or two of salt if desired.
The eggs, on the other hand, needs to be beaten before you dip the chicken in. Simply beat it using a fork. Once everything is set, start to heat the oil. The best deep frying temperature is between 350 F to 375 F. Use a cooking thermometer to measure it, or you can use a deep fryer that have temperature settings. Gently add the dredged chicken piece by piece and deep fry until golden brown.
Now, it is up to you on how you prefer to enjoy it. Grab your favorite dip or probably use these for the chicken wrap that you were craving for. Whatever your plan or prefer, do not forget to enjoy your food. Cheers!
