Popcorn Chicken (better-than-kfc Copycat!)

1.0

500g / 1lb chicken breast, tenderloin or boneless thighs, chopped into 1.25cm/ ½" cubes

BUTTERMILK MARINADE:

¾ cup buttermilk (sub ¼ cup yogurt + ½ cup milk)

1 ½ tsp cooking/kosher salt*

1 large egg (~50 – 55g/2 oz in shell)

BREADING:

1 ½ cups flour, plain/all purpose

½ cup corn flour / cornstarch

KFC 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES:

1 tsp cooking/kosher salt*

½ tsp celery salt (sub ¼ tsp extra salt)

1 tsp black pepper, paprika

¾ tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp each mustard powder, ginger powder

¼ tsp cayenne pepper, optional=

1 tsp each dried thyme, oregano, crushed with fingers to make it finer

TO FRY:

2 – 3 cups (2.5 cm / 1" depth) canola oil (veg or peanut oil)

Whisk marinade, add chicken, toss, marinade 1 – 3 hours (no longer than 24 hours).
Mix breading with herbs & spices. Drizzle 3 tbsp marinade, rub with fingers to create lots of little clumps (makes extra crunchy nubbly crust on chicken). Drop chicken into breading with left hand, spoon over flour then toss/press on flour using right hand. Mostly shake off excess, spread on tray, repeat with all.
Heat 2.5cm / 1" oil to 180C/350F. Put some chicken in spider, shake so excess flour falls through holes, fry 2 – 2.5 min until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels, eat! I like to dip in Honey Mustard Sauce (¼ cup mayo, 1 tbsp each Dijon and honey, 1 tsp cider vinegar or lemon, pinch S&P).
