Popcorn chicken is a dish of bite-sized chunks of deep-fried chicken that are sure to be a family favorite. I love to serve the chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour mixture again to coat.

Lower pieces of chicken carefully into hot oil in batches; fry until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies
This recipe for no-bake cookies is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom.
Easy Acai Smoothie Bowl
This acai smoothie bowl is a delicious breakfast. My kids like it, so I sweeten it with honey, but you can also use agave for a vegan version or not sweeten it at all. Top the smoothie bowls with some granola for crunch, nuts, or other berries of your choosing.
Sourdough Rolls
These sourdough rolls have a nice crust on the outside and are light and fluffy on the inside. They're perfect for soups or sandwiches!
