Chipotle Popcorn Chicken Recipes

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:

• 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 the oven to 250 degrees F. Generously spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix the chopped pecans and warm popcorn on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven while preparing the syrup.
• Combine the brown sugar, butter and honey in a heavy medium saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter is completely melted. Increase the heat to high and boil for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, add the salt, chipotle powder and baking soda and mix to evenly incorporate. Slowly pour the syrup over the popcorn-pecan mixture. Stir gently to make sure the popcorn and nuts are completely coated.
• Bake until the caramel is dry and has hardened, about 1 hour. Let cool before serving.

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:

• 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:

• Saute the chicken breasts, onion, and garlic in the oil on medium high heat.
• Once the chicken is no longer pink, add the coca cola, chipotle chiles and salt.
• Mix thoroughly and cover.
• Cook on medium for 20 minutes stirring often.
• I serve this with beans, rice, and sourcream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil in a deep, wide frying pan until soft. Add the chipotle paste (use 1 tbsp for a mild flavour and 2 tbsp for a hotter, stronger one). Stir and cook for 1 min, then add the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins with the lid half on. Stir to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice and soured cream.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to a large zip-top bag with the chopped chipotles and mix until the chicken is fully coated.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken with tongs and place on a cutting board. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• Transfer the chicken back to the pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, until all pieces are browned.
• Enjoy!

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.
