How Much Is the Popcorn Chicken at Ald

KFC popcorn chicken recipe is made easy in the Actifry.

The batter is simple and made with ingredients most households have in the cupboards already. To get the KFC batter texture a seasoned flour mixture is used – the KFC secret spice mix is of course a secret – but this is pretty close!

The Actifry is perfect for recipes like this – minimal oil is used but the result is so crispy and delicious.

These popcorn chicken pieces are amazing dipped into your favourite sauce or served with fresh salad and chips for a guilt-free snack. Even the kids will love these!

I have many Actifry recipes on the blog and also an Actifry Facebook group if you'd like to join and be amongst the first to hear about new tips and recipes!

Actifry KFC Popcorn Chicken

Make KFC style popcorn chicken at home in your Actifry with this simple recipe. Minimal oil for a guilt-free fried chicken snack.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 13 minutes

Total Time 23 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• 1 Egg
• 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

Batter (Seasoned flour) mixture:

• 3 Tbsp Plain Flour
• 1 Tbsp Paprika
• 1 Tbsp Onion Granules
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Basil
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Oregano
• 1/2 Tsp Salt

Instructions

1. Chop the chicken into small popcorn sized pieces, then place into a bowl
2. Mix together the batter ingredients in another bowl
3. To the bowl of chicken add 1 tbsp seasoned flour mixture
4. Stir to coat the chicken
5. Then crack the egg into the chicken bowl and mix to coat the chicken pieces
6. Next, transfer the eggy chicken pieces into the bowl of seasoned flour (use a fork to bring over a minimal amount of egg from the bowl
7. Toss to fully coat the chicken in the flour mixture
8. Next, place tbsp vegetable oil in the Actifry (swirl it round so the base is evenly coated)
9. Place the battered chicken into the Actifry and cook for 13 minutes - I have a Genius model so I used the 'battered snack' mode - if you have a normal Actifry cook without the paddle for the first 8 minutes, then add the paddle for the final 5 - this will stop the batter coming off when cooking
10. Once cooked serve with your favourite sides and dip
