Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl combine breadcrumbs, herbs de Provence, paprika and pepper. Stir until well combined. Season chicken cubes with salt.

Step 2

Coat each chicken piece in flour then dip it in egg and coat with breadcrumb mix. You can do a few at a time. Use your hands/fork or thongs. Make sure they are well coated with the breadcrumb mix.

Step 3

Heat up the oil. Check if the temperature is hot enough by frying one breaded chicken piece. If it’s bubbling right after the chicken piece hits the oil, then it’s ready.

Step 4

When the oil is hot enough deep-fry all of them. Make sure the pieces have enough space for frying (now depending on the size of you pan/pot you might need to do this in several batches). This will take only several minutes. Popcorn chicken will float on the surface and have nice dark brown color.
