Spicy Popcorn Chicken Bites
Ingredients
- 3 cups Kettle Brand Chips
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- a pinch of cayenne
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- olive oil, salt, and pepper
- honey mustard dipping sauce
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- 2
Crush the chips in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add 1 cup flour and cayenne and pulse again until incorporated into an even crumb-like mixture.
- 3
Place remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish.
- 4
Whisk eggs and half and half together in a shallow dish.
- 5
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- 6
Rub a baking sheet with olive oil to coat or place a wire rack on the baking sheet if you have one.

Set up an assembly line of sorts: flour, egg mixture, kettle chip mixture. Dip each chicken piece in each bowl, moving through the assembly line and making sure it gets coated at each step – starting with flour, then egg, then crumbs. Place on the baking sheet.

Bake chicken for 5 minutes, flip if needed, and bake another 5 minutes. I found my total time varied but generally ended up between 12-18 minutes to get the right amount of crisping and browning. These go perfectly with the honey mustard dipping sauce!
