SWEET AND SPICY KETTLE CORN

We love Kettle Corn.. and well, we love spicy! (not my pic, found at foodiewithfamily)

Provided by Staci Ojeda

Categories     Popcorn

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
1/2 c popcorn kernels
3 Tbsp granulated sugar (i use more)
2 Tbsp ancho chili powder (i use more)
2 tsp kosher salt (i use sea salt instead)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in the bottom of a heavy 4 qt pan over medium heat until warm, about 1 minute. Add popcorn in a single layer; sprinkle with sugar. Cover pan.
  • 2. Let kernels cook, shaking occasionally to prevent burning. When popping slows to 3-5 seconds between pops, remove pan from burner and pour into bowl. Sprinkle the chili powder/salt mixture onto the popcorn, shaking popcorn to evenly distribute the salt/chili powder mixture. Serve immediately.
  • 3. I don't actually measure my ingredients for doing this. The measurements are an estimation only. I usually just mix up some salt and chili powder and keep it in a lidded bowl and "eyeball" the oil and sugar. The popcorn measurement is the only thing that is an exact amount because it makes the amount of popcorn I want when I do this.

SPICY KETTLE CORN

I love kettle corn and this has a spicy kick that really leaves you wanting more. Beware though it is not for the faint of heart.

Provided by Regina Marcial

Categories     Popcorn

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg 3 oz each microwave popcorn
4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp water
3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare popcorn according to package directions. Pour popcorn into a large bowl allowing plenty of room for tossing popcorn with sugar and spice mix.
  • 2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar and water, bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in ground cayenne pepper.
  • 3. Remove from heat, mixture will be very hot. Pour half of mixture over popcorn and carefully toss with wooden spoons. Add remaining sugar and spice mixture and combine.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels are more likely to be tough and chewy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many kernels, they won't pop evenly and you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernels.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Don't stir the popcorn while it's popping. This will cause the kernels to stick together and you'll end up with a big clump of popcorn.
  • Season the popcorn immediately after it's popped. This will help the seasoning to stick to the popcorn.
  • Be careful not to overcook the popcorn. If you cook it for too long, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container. This will help to keep it fresh and crispy.

Conclusion:

Spicy kettle corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that's perfect for parties, movie nights, or just a casual snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own spicy kettle corn that's sure to please everyone.
