For the spicy Crumb
2 1/2cupsPotato Chips, crushed
1teaspoonDried Oregano
1teaspoonOnion Powder
1teaspoonGarlic Powder
1tablespoonKashmiri chili powder, or Paprika Powder
1 1/2tablespoonsPowdered Sugar
Salt , to taste
Oil , for brushing
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients under marinade with the chicken and set aside for half an hour or up to two hours.
Before you begin making the crumb, read the instructions carefully. I’ve mentioned two different recipes for the crumb, one is spicy and the other is non spicy. You can either pick one or choose to do half of both. Each crumb coat mixture is for 400 grams chicken.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C/ 400F. Set a cooling rack on a baking sheet and spray or brush with oil.
- To make the crumb, pick the crumb coating of your choice, and mix all the ingredients well. The potato chips should be crushed to a breadcrumb like consistency.
- Now taking one chicken piece at a time, shake off the excess buttermilk and dip the chicken piece in the crumb coating making sure to dredge it evenly. Place the chicken on the prepared cooling rack. Repeat till all the chicken pieces are crumb coated.
- Brush or spray them lightly with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, gently turning them halfway through till the pieces are cooked through. Serve immediately.
Notes
2. To crush the potato chips, snip off a small edge and then whack them with a rolling pin while still in the bag. This is the fastest and easiest way to crush them
4. Don’t forget to turn these halfway or the other side might be a little soggy and won’t crisp up
6. These baked popcorn chicken bites are best served immediately while they are still crisp.
