Ingredients
- 3.5 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breast
- 2 tsp. of all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. of powdered sugar
- ½ tsp. of freshly ground pepper
- ¼ tsp. of salt
- 1/8 tsp. of onion powder
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp. of milk
- ¾ cup of Panko bread crumbs
Olive oil spray for greasing

Preparation:
-Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Farenheit. Set a tray with a non-stick baking sheet and coat it with the olive oil. Set that aside first. Then you must place the chicken on a cutting board and cover the top with a sheet of waxed paper. Pound the chicken until it achieves a uniform thickness of about a quarter of an inch. After that, uncover the piece of chicken and cut it up into 25 even-sized pieces that should become your popcorn chicken.

-Combine flour, sugar, pepper, salt, and onion powder, and mix them thoroughly in a bowl. Then take the chicken pieces and coat them with the flour mixture. Set them aside for a while, and in another small bowl, mix the egg whites and the milk. Beat them with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth.

-Put a large quantity of bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper and set it right next to the egg-milk mixture. Now take the chicken pieces dipped in the flour mixture and dip them into the egg-milk mixture and then dip them into the bread crumbs. Do this one by one for the chicken pieces. Place each finished chicken piece onto the non-stick baking sheet which you prepared earlier and make sure that there are equal spaces between the chicken pieces.

Spray the chicken pieces with olive oil and season them lightly with salt and pepper before placing the tray in the oven. Bake the chicken pieces for 5 minutes and them flip the chicken pieces, and bake again for another 5 to 7 minutes in the oven.

-To make chicken more like KFC, you can try to pressure fry the chicken.
