Bag And Shake Popcorn Chicken - Real Recipes from Mums

Our family loves popcorn chicken but searching through the spice rack to check that you have all the spices isn’t always successful. The Nando’s peri peri medium heat is the perfect combination for a perfectly seasoned, slightly spices but not too hot batch of tender, seasoned, melt in your mouth popcorn chicken.

Ingredients (makes 1 Big batch of popcorn chicken)

4 Chicken breast
1 Medium peri peri Nando's chicken bag and bake
1/2 cup Plain flour
1 Summer salad of your choice

Method

Dice chicken breasts
Combine bag and bake seasoning with plain flour in paper bag provided
Drop in diced chicken and shake well
Pour carefully into deep fryer or air fryer and cook for 5-8 minutes
Serve with your favourite salad. Either on top or with its own dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

A great snack or light lunch for a hot summer instead of cookies in a hot oven

I would never have thought to do this, so quick and easy. Will have to do mine in the oven though, assume that it would still work – maybe not as crispy?

That’s such a great idea. I liked the Nando’s seasonings but adding flour to make it crispy would be incredible! And the popcorn chicken idea rather than strips or big pieces makes it much more fun to eat.

I’ve only had popcorn chicken a few times and loved it. This sure would be worth making. Oh, your photo is stunning.
