We all know we shouldn’t eat fast food, but knowing that fact doesn’t cure the cravings, does it? When that food is as addicting, bite-sized and tasty as KFC’s popcorn chicken, our resolve weakens, so thank goodness for people like Nicko’s Kitchen who figure out copycat recipes. (At least when we make it at home, we can control the ingredients and avoid those extra sides and sugary drinks, right?) This one tastes just like the real thing, and it includes at least one ingredient that totally surprised us. Check it out!

You’ll Need

– Chicken breast
– 1 cup flour
– 2 tablespoons salt
– 3 tablespoons onion powder
– 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
– 2 tablespoon pepper
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 2 teaspoon milk
– 2 egg whites
– Vegetable oil for frying

I never would have guessed that there was sugar involved, much less confectioners’ sugar! Nicko’s Kitchen cracked the code. What do you think? Have you ever made popcorn chicken of your own before?
