Once the chicken was chopped into bite-sized pieces it was dipped into an egg wash followed by the dry rub mixture before being cooked. The end result looked perfectly golden and crispy
To make the popcorn chicken, the pair began by mixing together the four dry ingredients in a bowl to create a rub coating.
The chicken was chopped into bite-sized popcorn pieces and the eggs were whisked in a separate bowl.
The chicken pieces were then dipped in the egg wash, followed by the dry rub mixture and placed in a greased tray.
The tray of popcorn chicken was then placed in the pre-heated oven for 40 minutes, and the pieces were turned over halfway through to ensure both sides cooked evenly.
The end result looked perfectly golden and crispy, and would be a suitable meal alongside a fresh salad with roasted vegetables.
