Golden chicken bites with a secret crispy coating that stays crunchy. Quick to make and impossible to resist. Turn ordinary chicken into Crispy KFC-Style Chicken Pops in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 500 g chicken fillets, cut into small cubes
- 5 ml Aromat
- 5 ml paprika
- 5 ml Gorima’s Kentucky spice (or any fried chicken seasoning mix)
- 5 ml onion powder
- 5 ml garlic powder
- 5 ml white pepper
- 5 ml Himalayan pink salt
Flour Coating
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1/2 cup Maizena (Cornflour)
- 5 ml onion powder
- 5 ml Kentucky spice (or preferred chicken seasoning)
Dip (Optional)
- Greek yogurt
- Sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- Cut 500 g chicken fillets into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss the chicken in 5 ml Aromat, 5 ml paprika, 5 ml Gorima’s Kentucky spice, 5 ml onion powder, 5 ml garlic powder, 5 ml white pepper, and 5 ml Himalayan pink salt. Ensure every piece is coated well.
- Cover the seasoned chicken and marinate it in the fridge for about 1 hour. If you can let it sit longer, even better, the flavor gets deeper.
- While the chicken marinates, mix 2 cups of cake flour, ½ cup Maizena, 5 ml onion powder, and 5 ml Kentucky spice in a shallow dish.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to around 170 °C.
- You can test with a tiny piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.
- Coat each chicken cube in the seasoned flour, making sure it’s fully covered. Shake off excess.
- Fry chicken cubes in batches so they cook evenly, about 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Don’t crowd the pan!
- Drain on paper towels to remove extra oil.
- Serve with Greek yogurt mixed with sweet chili sauce.
- You can also add a squeeze of lemon if you’re feeling fancy.
