Popcorn Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with Truffle Honey

    Once all the chicken is fried, arrange it on a serving platter and drizzle with truffle honey before serving.
