Crispy KFC Style Popcorn Chicken Everyone's Gone Nuts for!

To make popcorn chicken that is crispy outside and juicy inside, here's the secret.
Popcorn chicken must be one of the best appetisers. It doesn't matter who you are, what country you're from, or how old you are; place a bowl of those delights on the table, and they'll be gone in a flash. No one I've ever met can resist those bite-sized tender chicken morsels. This recipe has a hit of cayenne for that kick of spiciness; you will love them!
The secret is in the marinade. I marinated the chicken pieces using yoghurt, a little milk, salt and lemon juice. One hour is the minimum, but overnight is preferable if you want them super juicy. If you don't have time, don't worry, they will still taste delicious. The marinade works in three ways. It will tenderise the chicken, make it super juicy and coat the pieces for the dry mix to stick.
If you want that extra crispiness:
Fry them twice, first for one minute only and leave to cool.
Fry them a second time, for a minute or so, until cooked.
Always try the biggest piece to be sure it's not pink inside.

Joel, Before I start watching your video am writing this comment, because I know very well your this video also going to be super duper one. 🤗

[@princesszhorne]

Yesssssssss I agree. ALWAYS super duper vids!

[@JoelForemann]

Before I watched the vid I thought u were talking to me

[@AlexWilliams-qf3rp]

Whiskey is priceless, he has such personality. I have all the ingredients, so yes, I'll be making this, for sure. Merci chef, comme toujours 😆😆

[@recipe30]

Great to hear, basic ingredients, enjoy!

[@FLCRenaissance]

Your sense of humour makes learning recipes, so much fun! Again, I had no idea that Popcorn chicken is so easy to make. I've frozen chicken breast and almost all the ingredients (except onion and garlic powder) . Wondering if I can add a little onion and garlic juice in the yoghurt mixture instead. Because I can't wait to try it :) Thank you chef!!

[@recipe30]

Thanks FLC, you could definitely add it to the mixture. Just keep dry ingredients dry. Enjoy!

[@SaadKhan-xn1xv]

This looks so good! Definitely will be trying it soon. This is easily one of my favorite cooking channels and I follow a lot of cooking channels. Your dog is beautiful. I love the touches of comedy throughout. Thanks to your videos, I also now use only spinning lemons 😂

[@nancywebb5774]

From the video shoot to the editing to adding the music bed, all masterfully done! I like the subtle humor, look forward to seeing Whiskey with his super expressive eyebrows, and of course...the recipes! I also liked catching glimpses of the "chef" vs just his work....but he puts the focus on the food not himself. And, I believe that's by design.

[@recipe30]

Thank you so much Ora 🤗

[@gerrycorbino66]

In the beginning Whiskey is thinking Joel has finally flipped his lid with that windup chicken, but things are starting to smell good in the kitchen so I'll reserve my judgement until I get a taste & then when it's finally time I get one measly piece! Excellent recipe & one I'll have to make in the near future. I can always count on you for a new & tasty recipe. By the way, I enjoyed your video on your trip to Bali.

[@recipe30]

I think you've got that spot on Gerry, glad you also enjoyed the Bali trip, new one next week. 👍
