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
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups oil , or as needed
- 3 skinless , boneless chicken breasts, cubed
Instructions

1
Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.
-
2
Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
-
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.

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.

Margarita Jell-O® Shots
I had to make hundreds of Jell-O® shots for a wedding, so I decided to have fun with them and try out some new mixes. This was my margarita-flavored shot, a bit strong but good if you want variety with your selection. If you want them more palatable, substitute water for a bit of the alcohol.
Instant Pot Turkey Breast
This Instant Pot turkey breast is the moistest I have ever made. I usually cook this in the slow cooker all day, but it turns out so much better in the Instant Pot. I couldn't believe that I had such a wonderful meal ready in less than an hour!
