on Jan 25, 2017, Updated Aug 27, 2020 Guys we are doing popcorn chicken today but making it totally guilt free because it’s still January. And we haven’t forgotten all our resolutions yet. Except the one about not stuffing our face. But I’m definitely making it easier. With this KFC style Baked Popcorn Chicken so that you can stuff your face as much as you want. Ain’t that the best? I know how much you love my KFC style Popcorn Chicken because it is one of my most pinned recipes on Pinterest. But I also know how we are all trying to eat better. But we can’t give up on popcorn chicken because it’s our favorite party popper right? So I’ve been testing and baking and I think we are finally ready to share this amazing recipe. I’ve pretty much eaten an entire batch all by myself twice. Pragya ate the other batch last night. I think it’s safe to say that our love for baked popcorn chicken continues.
I’ve been working real hard these days. On myself. Sleeping early, eating right, trying to get some exercise and just making sure I’m conscious. Of my body and mind. That was one of my resolutions of this year. To not drive myself crazy thinking about how many people are reading this food blog or how many recipes I have to photograph. I’m taking it one day at a time, but mindfulness is such an important thing. Something we all forget about, and I’m happy to report that I’m feeling a lot better. Taking it easy doesn’t come as easily as you would think and it’s something that requires a lot of conscious effort. I just feel like it’s helping me prepare better, become better at work too. Like making sure I bring you a new recipe every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So that I have time to do more for you guys. Maybe create a new set of content. Ideas? Is there anything you’d like to see? A new series maybe? A different way of sharing food and recipes with you? I’m listening guys.
I hope you are thinking while I get back to this baked popcorn chicken. Because this needs a little more conversation. Like how it’s dredged in seasoned potato chips and how I am showing you two ways to make it. The red one is of course the spicy version and the cream colored yellow ones are for all of you who don’t dig spice too much. They are both just as flavorful, but my favorite? Definitely the one with all that spice! I don’t think I can do food which doesn’t at least have a slight kick in it. And if you are veering towards the non spicy version, stop. Try the spicy baked popcorn chicken and you’ll never look back. You can actually do both at the same time, because it’s the same base and it’s really super easy to make! Potato chips are such a fantastic way to coat these because they come out of the oven really crispy and if you get some sriracha mayo dipping sauce, you’ve got yourself a winner!
