Hello everyone... especially foodie lovers!!

One of my daughter's closest friends visited us yesterday with her one-year-and-two-month-old son and her sister-in-law. All of my daughter's closest friends became our extended family. That's why even if they got married and have kids, they still visit us at home when they have time.

They also let their kids treat my husband and me as their real grandparents, and my daughter, @tegoshei, as their mommy or ninang/godmother. I was glad that the little boy already loves to eat veggies, as his mother told me during our chat. So, I prepared stir-fried chicken with veggies especially for my little grandson. I also prepared some "chicken popcorn" and wanted to share the way or method of cooking it here.

So, please come and we will make chicken popcorn in the easiest and simplest way.

My Simple Chicken Popcorn

INGREDIENTS:

• Chicken Fillet
• Egg
• All-purpose flour
• Cornstarch
• Soya Milk or Butter Milk
• Soy Sauce
• Knorr Liquid Seasoning
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Ground Pepper
• Magic Sarap Seasoning
• Canola Oil

PREPARATION AND COOKING:

Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly. Cut them into smaller cubes and then marinate them with just a little drop of soy sauce and Knorr liquid seasoning or any seasoning of your choice. I added a mixture of dry and ground spices, which are garlic powder, Spanish paprika, ground pepper and just a pinch of Magic Sarap.

Mix them well by massaging the chicken with all the spices and seasonings. After marinating the chicken, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

After an hour, I took the marinated chicken out of the fridge and then added two medium-sized eggs to it. You can add only one egg if you are using a large egg.

I prepared the breading, which is a combination of 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and the remaining powdered spices, including garlic powder, paprika, ground pepper, and a hint of Magic Sarap.

In making this chicken popcorn, you can either separate the flour mixture from the marinated chicken and just coat the chicken with it individually, or you can gradually add the flour mixture to the marinated chicken and mix them until well combined. And I used this method yesterday since it's almost time for lunch.

So, let's now cook the chicken popcorn.

Heat some canola oil in a pan. *(You can add butter if you want, because it can add more flavor to it). However, I only used canola to make it healthier.

Fry the popcorn chicken in batches in low heat until golden brown, and then fry all of them after they are finished. It is always best to fry the chicken twice to achieve more crispness, but since I was running out of time, I only fried it once. However, it was still crispy and yummy due to the use of low heat and a balanced coating of breading mixture.

Chicken Popcorn is ideal with any dipping sauce, such as mayonnaise, white sauce, ketchup, and more.
We used ketchup and Mang Tomas Siga(spicy) sauce. This is also great paired with French fries or sweet potato fries.

We enjoyed the food and chatting with the visitors yesterday. I was so happy to see my grandson eat the veggies and chicken cheerfully. But only the chicken with the veggies for him this time.

He's also having fun eating a banana and some soft biscuit crackers. That was an enjoyable meal with them yesterday, and even had a heavy snack with 3 different flavors of pizza, which my daughter's closest and high school friend ordered online.

Simple moments like this, bonding without a special occasion, are worth cherishing. Although we forgot to take some photos at the dining table together because we were all busy catching up and were having fun with the baby, before they left, she asked to have a picture with our fur babies.

Arashi has been close to her for so long, but she just met Max yesterday.
Looking forward to seeing them again soon.

I'll end my post here. Thank you so much for stopping by and for reading.
See you around and God bless... 🙂🙏❤
