Whenever I Make a Bucket of This, Everyone Goes Crazy for It
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
Tips & Variations
Spicier version: Add more cayenne to the flour or mix a spicy dipping sauce.
No buttermilk? Use regular milk with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.
Air fryer option: Spray coated chicken with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Conclusion
This popcorn chicken is crunchy, flavorful, and dangerously addictive—perfect for game nights, parties, or a fun dinner. Once you make a bucket, you’ll see why everyone goes crazy for it.
