Instructions

  1. Start making the popcorn chicken by combining buttermilk and Knorr Liquid seasoning in a mixing bowl. Stir until blended. Add the cubed chicken breast. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

  2. Meanwhile, make the gravy by melting the butter in a saucepan. Wait for it to bubble and then gradually add the flour while stirring once the bubbles subside. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture turns medium brown in color. Gradually add water. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth. Add Knorr Chicken Cube, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir and set aside. Cover the pot to keep the gravy warm.

  3. Continue working on the popcorn chicken by combining all the breading ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.

  4. Heat the oil in a small cooking pot.

  5. Dredge the marinated chicken in the breading mixture making sure that it is completely coated. Shake off excess breading.

  6. Deep fry the breaded chicken for 3 to 4 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

  7. Serve with your favorite side dish and gravy. Share and enjoy!
