Popcorn Chicken

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cups oil , or as needed
• 3 skinless , boneless chicken breasts, cubed

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.
