Potato Chip Crusted Popcorn Chicken Nuggets are a fun and crunchy twist on a classic favorite. The combination of tender chicken coated in crispy potato chips creates a mouthwatering experience that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Coating

  • 2 cups Potato Chips, crushed (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are all uniform for even cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: In three separate bowls, set up your breading station. Place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and crushed potato chips in the third. Season each bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, coat it in the egg wash before rolling it in the crushed potato chips, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  4. Fry the Nuggets: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  5. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately for the best crunch!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Chips: For maximum crunch, ensure your potato chips are fresh and not stale.
  • Temperature is Key: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to avoid soggy nuggets.
  • Don’t Rush the Coating: Take your time to ensure each piece is well-coated for the best texture.
  • Batch Fry: Fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and achieve even cooking.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to try different chip flavors to enhance your nuggets!
