1½ pounds Perdue Breaded Popcorn Chicken or breaded popcorn chicken of choice
1 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
Coleslaw for serving
Sliced pickles for serving
Preheat an oven to 425° F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the frozen chunks in a single layer on the baking sheet and heat for 9 to 10 minutes. For a crispier product, turn halfway through the heating time.
In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt.
Dunk the cooked chicken chunks in the cayenne pepper oil.
Place the chicken in a basket and pair with pickles, coleslaw and something really cold to drink and serve immediately.
