Popcorn Fried Chicken

Charmaine Lu -
  • 25g salted popcorn
  • 90g breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 50g flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into long strips
  • Oil for shallow frying
  • Dips to serve
  • Put the breadcrumbs, popcorn and paprika in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Tip into a shallow bowl, then whisk the egg in a separate bowl and tip the flour with some seasoning into a third. Dip the chicken strips in the seasoned flour, then the egg and finally the popcorn mix to coat. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins or more.
  • Heat enough oil to cover the surface of your frying pan. Once sizzling, cook the chicken pieces for 3 mins on each side or until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with your favourite dips.
