Popeyes Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 2 Chicken Breast cut into narrow strips
- 2 TSP Salt
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/4 Cup of sour cream
- 2 TBS Louisiana Hot Sauce of choice
Breading Mix
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1/4 Cup Cornstarch
- 2 1/2 TSP Salt
- 1 TSP Cayenne Powder
- 1 TSP Smoked Paprika
- 1 TSP Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add peanut or vegetable oil to a deep pot or wok until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- To a bowl add milk, sour cream, salt and hot sauce. Stir until combined. Add the chicken tenders and optionally let sit overnight or just while you prepare the dredge.
- To a second bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and spices. When ready to coat. Drip some of the chicken marinade into the dredge and mix up this will make some tiny clumps adding additional crunch to the chicken when fried.
- Take the tenders out of the marinade and into the breading. Make sure to coat them thoroughly so we get lots of nice crunchy bits when fried.
- Now gently place the chicken into the oil and let fry for 5-7 minutes while stirring or agitating the oil to promote even frying. Take the chicken out of the oil when they are golden brown or it reaches an internal temp of 160 degrees F.
- Serve with spicy ranch, pickled onions or any dipping sauces of your choosing.
