These popcorn chicken has been the latest favorite dish with the kids. The first time Amma made these, the kids were overboard, saying these were so much like the restaurant style. She saw this in a Telugu TV show, and ever since she made these, the kids have been asking again. We ended up making it quite a number of times since then. Though the actual process is quite tedious, as it involves multiple dipping and freezing and then repeat, the end result is awesome and just for that I am sure you should make for your family!

I have been thinking of ways to interact more with my readers, over here and over Facebook as well. You can let me know if you have anything specific you have in mind. However I am planning on starting a basic cooking style in each cuisine. And to start the series, I have couple of dishes ready. Would love to hear more on this topic, if you are interested.

Meanwhile enjoy these delicious popcorn chicken, that was so liked by my kids!

Popcorn Chicken

Ingredient Needed:

For the marinade

Chicken - 1/2 kg
Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste (almost 1 tsp)

For the outer layer

All purpose flour / Maida - 2 cups
Corn flour - 1 cup
Salt a pinch

Eggs - 3 nos

Oil for deep frying

How to make Popcorn at home

Wash and cut the chicken into bite size pieces, making sure all the pieces are almost similar size.

Drain well, then in a bowl, mix the chicken with ginger garlic paste, salt, red chili powder, pepper powder. Adjust spice if required. Then refrigerate in fridge for nearly 4 hrs.

Once 4 hrs is done, mix flour with corn flour, salt. Keep it in a bowl. Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt.

Now take each piece of chicken, dip in egg, then roll it over flour mix, dust it over sieve to discard excess flour. Now refrigerate for 10 mins.

Then again dip in egg and repeat rolling in the flour mix. Once again take these in a strainer and pat it, to remove all excess flour coated on the chicken. Repeat this for one more time. Then refrigerate for one more time.

Heat a pan with oil, deep fry the chicken pieces on all sides, drain on a kitchen towel, serve hot.

This recipe does have too many steps of dipping in egg, coating with flour. Nevertheless, I am sure this recipe is a keeper. All those coating must have given the chicken a nice crunchy outer layer to the popcorn chicken.
