Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to serve)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko crumbs
- 1 cup oil (vegetable or canola)
Steps
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and garlic powder.
-
Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl and the panko crumbs onto a plate.
-
Dredge a piece of chicken into the flour mixture until evenly coated then dip in buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Lastly, roll in panko bread crumbs until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter.
-
Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Adjust the heat to keep the oil at 350˚F. Fry the popcorn chicken in small batches, leaving space between each piece and flipping as needed. Fry until golden brown and 165˚F at the deepest part of the chicken on a thermometer.

Sprinkle hot chicken lightly with salt and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
