Tasty as cluck, suitable for air frying, and with just the right amount of spice. If you try one snack recipe in the future, make it this Buffalo Popcorn Chicken recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
100g plain flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 100g panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to season
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced (for garnish)
-
4 tablespoons Buffalo Hot Sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Directions
- Cut the chicken into small, even chunks (popcorn-sized). Season with salt and pepper.
Set up three bowls - one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken piece in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press gently to help the coating stick.
Spray coated chicken with oil, then air fry at 200°C for 12–15 mins, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp.
Add cooked chicken to a large bowl. Pour over Buffalo Hot Sauce and toss to coat. Add more or less depending on your heat level.
Plate up the spicy popcorn chicken and scatter with chopped spring onions. Serve with Ranch Mayo on the side for dipping.
