CHIPOTLE POPCORN CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  • ½ cup Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, chopped finely
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, cornstarch, salt, pepper and chipotle peppers.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour some panko breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet.
  5. 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.
