Hot chicken popcorn - how to make chicken popcorn with beautiful scales

Overview

There are many versions of the popular chicken popcorn, and no matter which version I make, my son loves it. But there are a few tips on how to make chicken popcorn with beautiful scales: First, do not wrap the chicken pieces in the prepared batter immediately, but let it sit for a while, about three minutes, to allow it to become sticky. Secondly, put the flour-coated and battered chicken pieces in the plate, cover them with flour again, pat them lightly with your hands, and then, like stir-frying or tossing, shake the chicken pieces in the air and make a circle. When the chicken pieces are making circles in the air, they can turn out scales. These scales are the most beautiful and the most simple. You can simply apply the flour directly and then put it in the flour basket and shake it gently. You need to weigh it up and down and don't shake it left and right. Third, the meat pieces should be fried immediately after being powdered, otherwise it will affect the production of scales,

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the chicken breast and cut into small uniform pieces.

   

2. 2 Cut the chicken into cubes, add salt, white pepper, and cooking wine and marinate for more than 20 minutes. I basically marinate it today, refrigerate it, and fry it tomorrow. If you like spicy food, you can marinate it with chili oil

   

3. 3 Mix the batter according to the ratio (fried powder: water = 1:1.5).

   

4. 4 The ratio of marinated meat to pulp is 1:4. Put the marinated chicken pieces into four times the pulp and mix well

   

5. 5 Drainage

   

6. 6 Cover the drained chicken pieces evenly with flour to ensure even wrapping

   

7. 7 Place it in the sieve basket and shake gently, weigh it up and down, do not shake it left and right, so that the surface of the chicken pieces will appear like a natural scale

   

8. 8 While making the chicken pieces, heat the oil

   

9. 9 Heat the oil to 175 to 180 degrees and fry for about two minutes until the surface turns golden.
