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.
is that much salt actually a necessity? I'm on low sodium for a heart condition and that seems like a lot of salt. Also is there a way to make these in an air fryer?
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.
I think I might try this, this weekend with some fried rice and sweet and sour sauce.
Delicious, best popcorn chicken ever! A must try ๐งก
Popcorn chicken is a no go for me. The bread to meat ratio is way off.
Can you Airfry this recipe? Happy Mother's Day y'all.

Not for Keto or Gluten Free crowd, but perfect for me (might try a little larger chunk)
This woman along with her co-workers is nothing but BS
Sounds and looks amazing
How do you store the oil?
can you air fry these
Hi I wondered if you could make biscuits out of the left over flour mixture? Always looking for a way to not waste food!๐ฅฐ
We really should quit killing and exploiting animals just to satisfy our taste pleasure.
This is great! Thank you for sharing this! Question, what do you do with all that oil once you've finished with this dish?
For gluten free, can we use the ATK gluten free flour mixture 1:1 for APF?

Worldโs largest cutting board?
This is great. Thankyou.
I'm going to try this Saturday before the Warriors game! And Bridgette is hella pretty!
Would brining the chicken in advance be acceptable or would the chicken turn out over-seasoned or mushy?
Why didnโt you salt them?
These look sooo good. I wonder if you could cook them in an Air Fryer? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try !

Delicious! Americans so good at the cooking!
I would not cut the chicken tha small….
Actually, popcorn chicken came out in the late 80's and was battered deep fried chicken skin. it was GREAT!
This recipe looks amazing. Can you recommend a substitute for the all-purpose flour for us gluten-free folks?
Love watching test kitchen I learn so much.

Ooooรณooo, the thighs would be fantastic!!!!

Love her๐ด๐๐๐๐๐
popcorn chicken is simple to make. I'm glad there is shows like cooks country that can show you the process plus the seasoning to a great meal.
Betcha can't eat just won !!! Bridget lost the challenge !
ATK needs to give Taiwan credit for introducing popcorn to USA. Please be more inclusive with your content and give credit where itโs due.
Anyone else been banking up their good boy points to cash in on some popcorn chicken?

There's so many different sauces you can make to go with the chicken. Don't be afraid to try something different.
Thanks for sharing! โฅ๏ธ
This looks absolutely amazing

You can make this in an air fryer to be healthier. They won't get as crispy or as tasty but they get pretty close.
I buy perdue popcorn chkn..
