How to Make Popcorn Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 kg very finely ground chicken
• To prepare the popcorn chicken marinade:
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce or chili, as desired
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• A pinch of ground cardamom
• A pinch of ground ginger
• A pinch of paprika or ground red pepper
• A pinch of nutmeg
• Salt to taste
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup crushed cornflakes (fine)

Method

1. Wash the chicken well, place it in a colander, and grind it very finely.
2. Mix the marinade ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous sauce.
3. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the ground chicken, form the ground chicken into balls, and place them in the marinade for at least one hour.
4. Next, put plain flour or special crispy flour in a bowl depending on what you have available. Dip the popcorn balls in the flour and turn them to coat all sides completely.
5. Fry the popcorn chicken in hot oil, but when you place the popcorn chicken balls lower the heat and fry them over low heat until cooked through.
