Popcorn Chicken

Yields6 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time35 mins

Popcorn chicken

 3 cups flour
 2 tsp garlic powder
 ½ tsp salt
 ¼ tsp ground black pepper
 2 eggs
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 2 cups oil, or as needed
 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1

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

2

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

3

Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour mixture again to coat.

4

Lower pieces of chicken carefully into hot oil in batches; fry until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
