Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• Salt to taste
• Frying oil

Additionally, you’ll need a deep fryer/electric skillet, two shallow bowls, and a plate lined with paper towels.

The boneless chicken breasts are essential, as they’re easy to cut into bite-sized pieces and cook quickly. The flour and breadcrumbs create the crispy outer layer, while the eggs help it stick to the chicken. If breadcrumbs aren’t within your reach, crushed cornflakes make a good substitute.

How To Make Chicken Poppers

1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
2. In one shallow bowl, place the flour. Beat the eggs in the other one.
3. Dip each chicken piece first into flour, then into the egg, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs.
4. Heat your oil to 375��F and drop in the chicken pieces, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy, usually 2-3 minutes.
5. Drain the chicken poppers on a paper towel and enjoy!

Tips For The Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken is cooked through.
• Try experimenting with adding spices to your breadcrumbs for extra flavor.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge and eat within 2 days.
• You can also freeze cooked poppers for future snacks. Just reheat in the oven until hot and crispy.
