Whether it be adults or children, you will have them all swooning over these gorgeous and ready-in-a-minute Chicken poppies. Serve them with Ketchup and you are basically ready to party. And taking fresh Chicken is always a good idea. And boneless cubes can be used just like i did instead of minced Chicken. And the spices can be according to one's own choice. I added my own as loved by my family. You can also do the same. And a good marination is always a secret to many a delightful dishes. So is the case with this one. Overnight marination is a key to these lovely looking scrumptious Chicken Popcorn. You will definitely love the texture of it as well as the taste.

The boneless cubes were first marinated overnight and then dipped in the cornflour slurry and finally coated with the breadcrumbs and deep fried on a selected heat mode until crisp and done. These flavourful and aromatic Chicken Popcorn are a must have one on weekends with family. A perfect accompaniment at mealtimes and a great Starter dish too.

Enjoy Frying with Zeen!

Steps

20-25 minutes

1

Marinate chicken cubes with all the ingredients mentioned for at least 2 hours. This step is a must. Or better still overnight in a refrigerator.
2

Next day, dip each cubed chicken piece in the cornflour slurry at first. Then roll in the breadcrumbs mix nicely. Keep them again in a freezer for about 2-3 minutes or until the oil gets heated up for frying.
3

Heat oil on a low. This way you will not burn the popcorn. After adding them to the kadai for frying, you can increase the heat to a medium high if needed. Deep fry on a low to medium high heat only.
4

Fry until golden brown and crisp by turning over as required. Fry well on both the sides until done. Serve it piping hot alongside any simple dip of choice. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
