    OK, but . . . not healthy recipe–as much flour as chicken, several teaspoons of salt and, of course, deep fried to boot. The cooks featured on this site are not looking like fit people with good BMI. Not an issue, you say? OK, understood.

    Breast? No! Popcorn chicken was skin and the dregs from the fryers. Breast is far too dry to make any kind of chicken dish. Use the dark meat if you must use meat; otherwise, use skin like it's supposed to be made!

    We actually just tried this on the weekend. It was so yummy and we had leftovers which was even better. Not a fan of the sauce so we will try a different one next time. I think a buttermilk ranch sauce would be super yum with these.

    Home recipes never add MSG for some reason (aka Accent), but thats the secret ingredient at pretty much every fried chicken place. Chik Fil A uses a ton of MSG, you can actually taste the MSG flavor in the breading. I always found fried chicken at home bland compared to Chick Fil A, KFC, etc, even after adding extra spices, what finally made it pop was replacing some of the salt with Accent(MSG).

    My comment does not relate to this particular video, though I liked it very much. Frequently, ATK does videos that involves chilling a platter of food in the refirgerator or freezer for a period of time before cooking. Every time you demonstrate that on the show, the refrigerator is opened to reveal an applicance that is virtually emply. As a bachelor with a small kitchen and a rather "regular" sized refrigerator, there is rarely any space at all to do something like that. I think it would be beneficial to include a suggested option for chilling or freezing, if there is one, for those of us who don't have the luxury of space. Thank you for considering my comment, and particularly for all the good work you do.

    Rather than separating all the chicken pieces out by hand, can't you use a colander? It seems to me that the flour mixture would go through the holes, even if it gets a little lumpy, but the chicken pieces wouldn't. At worst, you'd have to take out some of the chicken by hand at the end. (Edit) You could even use your deep-frying spider to shake the excess flour mixture loose from the chicken pieces.
