Popcorn Chicken

Bite-sized pieces of chicken that are sure to be a family favorite. I love to serve it with  homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. 

   

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• oil for frying
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

Directions

Instructions Checklist

• Step 1

  Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.

• Step 2

  Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.

• Step 3

  Dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and again into the flour mixture.

• Step 4

  Test the oil to make sure it is hot enough: a small amount of flour dropped in should sizzle. Place 10 pieces of chicken into the hot oil; cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
