Homemade Popcorn Chicken
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 3 or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts skinless chicken breasts (depending on how much you want to make)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1½ c buttermilk
- 1½ c flour
- cooking oil - enough to make 2 inches in a Dutch oven
Instructions
- To begin, cut the chicken into small, ¾ inch pieces.
- Sprinkle it with about a half teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- In a Dutch oven, or other deep pot, begin heating 2 inches of cooking oil (peanut, canola or vegetable) over medium heat. You want the oil at about 350 degrees.
- Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish and drop a couple handfuls of the chicken pieces into it. Stir it around to coat the chicken well. Then scoop out the chicken and drop it into a shallow dish of the flour. Stir that around to coat it as well.
- Carefully sink the chicken down into the hot oil and cook it for about 5 minutes or until golden. Scoop it out to a platter that is lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with all of the chicken. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.
- Enjoy!
