Spicy Popcorn Chicken

Step 2: Dredge the chicken

  • Dredge & oil

    • flour
      50 g
    • cornstarch
      25 g
    • black pepper
      a sprinkle
    • chili powder
      a sprinkle
    • garlic powder
      a sprinkle
    • fresh oregano
      a sprinkle
    • neutral oil
      for frying

  • Spice mixture

    • neutral oil
      14 g
    • hot sauce
      10 g
    • butter
      7 g
    • cayenne pepper
      a sprinkle
    • salt

Meanwhile, set a wok or dutch oven over medium heat and add enough oil to the chicken pieces, probably about 2 inches deep.

While the oil is heating, combine the flour, cornstarch, and spices in a bowl. Pour a little bit of the milk mixture into the dredge and mix it in. This will create clumps that stick to the chicken, making it crispy when fried.

Move the chicken pieces to the flour mixture and coat them completely. Press the flour into the chicken so that it sticks well. Shake off any excess flour.
