Ingredients

1. Prep the Chicken:

Cut the chicken into small, popcorn-sized pieces and place them in a meal prep container.

2. Season the Chicken:

Add the olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you prefer (buffalo seasoning is a great choice!).

Tip: If you don’t mind a few extra calories, you can add a bit more cornstarch and oil for extra crunch.

3. Coat the Chicken:

Close the lid of the container tightly and shake well until the chicken is fully coated with the seasoning mixture.

4. Cook the Chicken:

Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes. If using a regular oven, make sure to flip the chicken halfway through for even crispiness.

5. Serve:

Serve as-is or with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy your crispy popcorn chicken!
