Contender for the fakeaway hall of fame? I think so.
Zac Kerr (@counting_zacros), king of the fakeaway, as we like to call him, has made another mouth-watering recipe to rival your local chicken shop. These golden popcorn chicken pieces deliver 49g of protein for just 335 calories in a whole batch. Let’s dig in.
Serves 1 (20 popcorn chicken pieces)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 11 minutes
Ingredients
- 200 g minced chicken breast
- 20 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 10 egg whites
- 1-2 spritzes olive oil
Instructions
- Roll your chicken mince into 20 equal balls
- Next, take two small mixing bowls. Add flour and the spices into one and mix to combine. Add your egg whites into the other one.
- One by one, dip your chicken balls in the egg whites, then roll your flour and spice mixture, and add to your air fryer rack or baking tray.
- Spray with olive oil spray and air fry for 11 minutes at 200 °C or bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 220°C.
- Remove the chicken from the oven/air fryer and, in Zac's words, "smash".
