1
Okay, its truly this easy ...
2
Popcorn Chicken:
3
Heat oil in skillet over medium high or if using a deep fryer, heat it to 375 degrees.
4
Mix flour and spices (vary spices up to your liking, although I do suggest keeping the paprika and salt!)
5
Dip chicken in milk and then in the flour to coat.
6
Letting the chicken soak in the milk will produce even better results, but its certainly not a requirement!
7
Throw your battered chicken in to the deep fryer for about 5 minutes, or cook in a skillet for about 2 minutes on each side.
8
Take out, add some more salt, and gobble gobble!
9
OH WAIT, dont eat it yet!!
10
You forgot to make the honey mustard!
11
Honey Mustard:
12
Add honey, mustard, and mayo to a bowl and adjust to your liking.
13
I usually like equal parts of honey and mustard, and about twice as much mayo, but this is up to you!
14
Its almost TOO easy to even list!

Enjoy, and please let me know how you liked it!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
