Paleo Popcorn Chicken

Ingredients

Scale

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1” chunks

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Pepper

1 cup Garbanzo Bean Flour

2 eggs

1 ¼ cups Sparkling Water

2 teaspoons Salt

½ cup Arrowroot Starch

1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
4 cups oil (I used melted palm shortening)

Instructions

  • Heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Cut chicken breasts into 1” pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Set aside
  • Place garbanzo bean flour, 2 teaspoons salt, arrowroot powder, dry mustard and garlic powder in a bowl and combine.
  • Add eggs and sparkling water and stir until combined. Should be thick but not pasty. If it is pasty, add a little more sparkling water.
  • Dip chicken into batter in batches and cover each piece with batter.
  • Place 10 or so pieces of battered popcorn chicken into hot oil.
  • Cook for 1½ minutes on the first side and another minute on the second side.
  • Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet
  • Sprinkle with additional salt to taste
  • Serve!

**These become crispy again when reheated in a skillet with a little oil, or in an air fryer.
