Inspirational Baked Honey Bbq Popcorn Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into
bite-sized pieces - 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 5 cups (140g) corn flakes cereal, crushed lightly
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk
Easy Honey BBQ Sauce
- 3/4 cup (222g) your favorite BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby
Rays Original) - 1/4 cup (80g) honey
- 1/4 cup (68g) ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet
with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. - Place the bite-sized pieces of chicken in a large bowl. Add
flour and stir to coat each piece. Set aside. - Place the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and
smoked paprika into a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk the eggs and milk together
in a small bowl. - This next step gets your hands a little messy so have paper
towels nearby. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, letting any excess
drip off. Then generously roll in the cornflake mixture, shaking off any
excess. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all chicken bites. - Bake for 18 minutes, flipping once at the 9-10 minute mark.
(During this time, I make the sauce in step 6.) Remove from the oven and allow
to cool for 5 minutes. - Heat the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium
heat for 6-7 minutes, whisking occasionally. - Carefully place the chicken bites into a large bowl. Pour
the warm honey BBQ sauce on top and gently stir to coat. Serve warm. Leftovers
keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave until
warmed through.
Notes
- Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Prepare the popcorn
chicken through step 4. Refrigerate for up to 1 day before continuing with step
5. You can also freeze the baked popcorn chicken before tossing in the honey
BBQ sauce. Bake frozen popcorn chicken in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 20 minutes
or until warmed through. - Plain Popcorn Chicken: You can leave the popcorn chicken
plain. Simply add a little more seasoning (salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and
garlic powder) to the cornflake mixture and leave off the honey BBQ sauce.
