You haven't had popcorn chicken like THIS before! Safe to say, doubling the recipe to make sure you have leftovers is a must. 🤤 Ingredients: Chicken: 1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce (such as Mae Ploy®) 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces Sweet Chili Sauce: 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (such Mae Ploy®) 2 tablespoons ketchup 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce or tamari 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime) Additional Ingredients: thinly sliced scallions toasted sesame seeds Directions: Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare the Chicken: Place panko and coconut on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil to fully coat mixture. Spread into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and stir in cornstarch. Line the rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. In batches, toss chicken pieces in panko mixture, pressing to adhere and completely cover each piece; transfer coated pieces to prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Let sit 5 minutes to allow breading to set. Bake in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken pieces registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let sit 4 minutes before brushing with Sweet Chili Sauce. While chicken sits, prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce: Stir together sweet chili sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Brush chicken liberally with sauce. Transfer chicken to a bowl and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately. 🧑‍🍳: @nicolemcmom #popcornchicken #chicken #dinnerrecipes #EasyRecipes - @allrecipes
