Provided by Hafid Eledath

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon BBQ sauce, and extra to serve
1 tablespoon peri-peri sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons bbq seasoning, divided
3 tablespoons coconut oil
⅓ cup yellow popcorn kernals
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 can bbq chips

Steps:

  • Wash and drain the chicken breasts.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce, BBQ sauce, peri-peri sauce, and lemon juice.
  • In a separate bowl of the same size, mix the smoked paprika, chili powder, brown sugar and half of the BBQ seasoning.
  • Drizzle the wet mixture on the chicken breasts, making sure to get both sides.
  • Sprinkle the dry mixture on the chicken breasts, making sure to get both sides.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • After 4 hours or so, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Put a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Melt the coconut oil in the saucepan. Put 3 or 4 kernels of popcorn in the saucepan. Once they pop, add the rest of kernels, put on the lid and take off the heat. After 30 seconds or so, place back onto the stovetop. Shake often. Once the popping reduces to every 4 seconds, remove from heat.
  • Pour the melted butter on the popcorn, stirring to get all of the popcorn. Add the rest of the BBQ seasoning, stirring to get all of the popcorn.
  • Grind ⅔ of the popcorn along with the BBQ chips. Sprinkle this over the marinated chicken breasts, making sure to get both sides. The marinade should adhere the popcorn crumbs.

BAKED HONEY BBQ POPCORN CHICKEN



Baked Honey BBQ Popcorn Chicken image

This crunchy, saucy, and crowd pleasing baked honey BBQ popcorn chicken is the easiest appetizer or bite-sized dinner you can make!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
5 cups (140g) corn flakes cereal, crushed lightly
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
3/4 cup (222g) your favorite BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Rays Original)
1/4 cup (80g) honey
1/4 cup (68g) ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Place the bite-sized pieces of chicken in a large bowl. Add flour and stir to coat each piece. Set aside.
  • Place the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a small bowl.
  • This next step gets your hands a little messy so have paper towels nearby. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the cornflake mixture, shaking off any excess. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all chicken bites.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, flipping once at the 9-10 minute mark. (During this time, I make the sauce in step 6.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Heat the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat for 6-7 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  • Carefully place the chicken bites into a large bowl. Pour the warm honey BBQ sauce on top and gently stir to coat. Serve warm. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips:

  • For the chicken: To ensure evenly cooked popcorn chicken, cut the chicken breasts into uniform bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent over or undercooking.
  • To achieve a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and egg wash. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken and create a crispy exterior.
  • For the BBQ sauce: Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the BBQ sauce to your preference. You can add more or less cayenne pepper or chili powder to suit your taste.
  • For a healthier version, consider baking the popcorn chicken instead of frying it. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:

This BBQ popcorn chicken recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or party snack. With its crispy coating, tender chicken, and flavorful BBQ sauce, it's sure to be a hit among family and friends. Whether you choose to fry or bake the chicken, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your grill or preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy this tasty and satisfying dish!
