Calories: 195kcal
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- ½ cup Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce chopped finely
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- salt and pepper to taste
- Panko breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, cornstarch, salt, pepper and chipotle peppers.
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken in the batter and let it sit for at least a couple hours in the fridge.
- Pour some panko breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet.
- Coat each piece of chicken with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed, and fry on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Place on paper napkins to soak up some of the oil. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Only add a few pieces of chicken to the skillet at a time, so the chicken turns out crispy.
Notes
Alternatively you can bake this popcorn chicken by placing them on a baking sheet and baking them at 375 F degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
