Step by step how to cook Popcorn Crusted Chicken:
- In a processor, pulse popcorn, garlic and 1/4 tsp. salt until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Place flour and egg in two separate bowls as well..
- Coat each chicken piece in flour, then in beaten egg, then in popcorn crumbs, turning to coat. Transfer to a sheet and repeat with remaining chicken. Discard any leftover flour, beaten egg and popcorn crumbs when finished..
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, combine oil and butter. When butter has melted, add chicken, working in batches if necessary. Do not crowd the pan. It will get messy. Trust me, I know..
- Cook, turning once, until chicken is well-browned on both sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired..
- The recipe ends here if you are serving this at a kiddy party..
- You can turn this into a grown up dish, with a quick coca cola barbecue sauce..
- Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer..
- Simmer the sauce until reduced by 1/4, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sauce to clean jars and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until serving. The sauce will keep for several months, refrigerated..
- Pour this over the chicken strips or use it as a dipping sauce. Yumm!.
