Your Favorite Cookbook Recipes: Chicken Fire Poppers

We shared a list of your favorite cookbook recipes here. Now, authors share some of your picks!

When I prepared this dish at home, I asked my then two-year-old daughter if she wanted fire poppers. “No,” she replied seriously, “it’s dangerous.” We all shared a laugh and then got on to the serious business of eating. By the end of the meal, I realized that these chicken poppers are indeed dangerous–once you start, it’s hard to stop.

Chicken Fire Poppers

Servings: 4 -6

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 lb pound chicken cutlets
  • cornflake crumbs
  • oil, or frying

Sauce:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • cup hot sauce (I use Frank’s)
  • sliced chives, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the garlic powder and onion powder. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat with cornflake crumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces in the oil on both sides until golden and crispy. Let drain on paper towels for a few minutes, then transfer the chicken to a baking pan.
  • In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the fried chicken. Bake the chicken, covered, for 20 minutes (do not overbake). Spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the chicken, garnish with the chives, if desired, and serve warm.

    This is a true family favorite! I serve it with rice to soak up all the sauce and my kids love it. I did play around with the sauce as we found it to be way too sweet. I make it as follows: 1/4 C brown sugar, 1/4 C honey and a 1/3 C hot sauce. Yum!
