Crispy chicken pops
Description
Crispy chicken pops feature chicken breast chunks coated in a double layer of seasoned flour and egg wash, which creates a thick, crunchy crust when fried. The combination of smoked paprika and oregano with basic seasonings delivers a mild smoky and herbal flavor profile. Frying the chicken pieces in hot oil crisps the coating quickly while cooking the chicken thoroughly, resulting in golden, crisp bites. These pops are typically served warm with fresh lemon wedges and dipping sauces like ketchup, providing a snack or appetizer option that emphasizes texture contrast and bite-sized convenience.
Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) chicken breast
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 3 egg
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, deep pot.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
- Place the flour into a bowl and add the spices then whisk well to combine.
- Place the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk well.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour, dusting off the excess, then in the egg and again in the flour. You can repeat this step to create a thicker coating.
- Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is crisp and golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve with fresh lemon and ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for dipping.
