Steps:

• Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
• Pour buttermilk and can of chiles over the chicken, making sure to get all of the adobo sauce out of the can. Mix well to incorporate.
• Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
• In a separate bowl, mix together panko bread crumbs, chili powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Remove chicken from the refrigerator and dredge the pieces in the bread crumb mixture for an even coat.
• Fry them in 350˚F (180˚C) oil until they are crispy and golden brown (about 2 minutes).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Garnish with an additional sprinkle of smoked paprika and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the honey sriracha mayo: Stir together the mayo, sriracha and honey to taste. Season with salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra sriracha. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the chicken: Put the paprika, garlic powder, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Add the chicken and shake to thoroughly coat.
• Put the flour in a large bowl. Beat the buttermilk and eggs together in another large bowl.
• Bring a large, wide pot with about 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
• Dredge half of the chicken in the flour. Remove from the flour, shake off the excess and dip it in the buttermilk mixture to coat. Let the excess drip off, then return it to the flour. Carefully put the chicken in the oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels with a slotted spoon and sprinkle lightly with salt. Return the oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Top with chives and serve with the honey sriracha mayo.

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place in mixing bowl and cover with buttermilk and pureed chipotle chilis. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Once the chicken has had time to sit in buttermilk, dredge the chicken in seasoned flour and fry in a 350°F fryer. Once out of fryer, season with salt, pepper and chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Microwave the popcorn for 3 to 5 minutes, according to the directions on the package, until the popcorn stops popping. Carefully pour the hot popcorn into a large bowl and immediately pour on the butter, then the Parmesan, chile powder, and salt. Toss well and serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.
• Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and again into the flour mixture.
• Test the oil to make sure it is hot enough: a small amount of flour dropped in should sizzle. Place 10 pieces of chicken into the hot oil; cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Steps:

• Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
• Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
• Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill with top and bottom plates for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut into strips.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together chipotle peppers, buttermilk, egg, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
• Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken in the batter and let it sit for at least a couple hours in the fridge or overnight.
• Pour some panko breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet.
• Coat each piece of chicken with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed and fry on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Place on paper napkins to soak up some of the oil. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Only add a few pieces of chicken to the skillet at a time so as not to over crowd, so the chicken turns out crispy.
• Once out of fryer, season with more salt, pepper (if desired) and chopped cilantro to taste.
• Serve with your choice of dip.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, mustard, and salt.
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, spread out the panko.
• Add the chicken pieces to the egg mixture and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken to the panko bread crumbs, toss to coat.
• Transfer the breaded chicken to the baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes, then use a spatula or tongs to flip the chicken pieces.
• Continue baking 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
