About Popcorn Chicken Recipe
Popcorn chicken is a dish consisting of small, bite-sized pieces of chicken that have been breaded and fried. The chicken is in the size of popcorn which indicates the name. The idea was originally developed by KFC but has since spread. I thank one of my viewer for asking this recipe to make. If not I must have not done it. It turned out so crispy and juicy and moist and fluffy and crunchy and so on. Don’t know how to explain the end result, it was so good. I didn’t except the result to be this good. And this is one of the best fried chicken I have ever tasted. Similar Recipes KFC Fried Chicken KFC Popcorn Chicken Chicken Strips Oven fried chicken Fiery fried chicken Pin
Ingredients for Popcorn Chicken Recipe
CHICKENÂ
Chicken has to be with skin on and bone in. The skin is what makes the chicken so crispy and moist. Also the bone in chicken turns out super juicy than boneless.
DRY INGREDIENTS | FLOUR
The flour added in the chicken is plain flour and corn flour. Both the flour adds crispy texture to the chicken. The cornflour adds crunchy texture to the chicken.
CORNFLAKESÂ
This is my own addition to the chicken to make it super crispy. The chicken taste so crunchy with an addition of cornflakes. This is optional.
SPICES FOR CHICKEN
Mixture of many spices and herbs are added for the kfc flavour. Spices like garlic powder, onion Powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, Basil, Paprika, Black Pepper, Salt
BINDING INGREDIENTS
Eggs and milk are used as binding for the chicken. The wet ingredients is what help the dry ingredients stick to the chicken.
OIL
Use extra oil for frying the chicken. Deep frying is what recommended in this recipe. Use flavourless oil like canola, vegetable oil or refined oil. The crucial part in this recipe is frying. In kfc they pressure fry these chicken. I don’t have those fancy things. So what I did was, I covered the pan in which they are frying with a tight fitting lid. This creates steam inside and the chicken is fried which gives more or less the same result. Try to fry the chicken in medium heat so they don’t get brown before the middle is cooked. Also this KFC popcorn chicken has cornflakes and breadcrumbs.
