Serves: 3 persons
Ingredients:
7-8 pieces of boneless chicken, cut into cube shape

1 tablespoon red chili flakes

4 tablespoons wheat flour
Cheese slices or grated Parmesan cheese or cheese powder

Salt to taste
Method:
Step 1
In a plate, mix 4 tablespoons of maida or wheat flour, 2 tablespoons of cornflour and a pinch of salt, mix well and keep it aside.
- Wash boneless chicken pieces and cut them into cube shape if possible, In a plate, mix boneless chicken pieces, 1/2 cup whisk egg, 1 tablespoon grounded black pepper, 1 tablespoon red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix well and leave it for marination for about 15-20 minutes.
- Now, add 1 tablespoon of oregano into the chicken mixture and mix well. You can also use different herbs as you like.
- Heat oil in a pan, either shallow fry or deep fry the chicken popcorn, but I prefer shallow frying so I am using a frying pan for frying these cheesy popcorn.
- Roll the chicken cubes one by one into the cornflour and wheat flour mixture and leave it for frying in a low-medium heat.
- Before doing this, make sure you fix the small part of cheese slice into the chicken cubes with the help of a knife and your thumb. Simply cut the middle layer of each chicken cube with the help of the knife and gently insert and cover the cuts with cheese slices in it. This twist of chicken popcorn will definitely make you eat more than your normal appetite.
- If you don't have time to follow the above step, then you can simply mix 1-2 tablespoon of cheese powder into your wheat flour and corn flour mixture.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot with tomato ketchup, chili sauce and any dip of your choice.
