Lazy chicken popcorn

Overview

When it comes to chicken popcorn, many people will probably think of KFC’s explosive chicken popcorn, right? I also learned about the snack chicken popcorn from KFC. In fact, the preparation of this fried snack is similar to other fried foods, and it is not difficult at all to make. The traditional process of fried food is: sizing and marinating → coating in starch → dipping in egg liquid → coating in bread crumbs → frying. But I'm lazy. Based on the principle of saving one step if I can, I modified the frying process and omitted 2 steps. I can still fry crispy and delicious chicken popcorn. If you want to eat chicken popcorn, you don't have to go to KFC anymore!

2. 2 Pour half the bag of bread crumbs into a bowl and coat the battered chicken breasts in the bread crumbs.

   

3. 3 Coat all chicken breast pieces with bread crumbs.

   

4. 4 The oil temperature is heated to about 170°C, as shown in the picture.

6. 6 Use a slotted spoon to remove the oil and place it on absorbent paper to absorb excess oil.

   

7. 7 Enjoy! If it's too greasy, you can eat it with tomato sauce.
