Everything Bagel Chicken Poppers
Delicious crispy chicken poppers coated with Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning and fried till golden. Serve with chopped vegetables and honey mustard dipping sauce(recipe included).
Ingredients
Poppers:
- 2 lbs/1 kilo chicken breast cut into cubes
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup golden breadcrumbs
- 3 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 2 Tbsp black sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp onion flakes
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt flakes or coarse salt
- 3 tsp garlic granules or garlic powder
- Canola oil for frying
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- ⅛ cup dijon mustard or yellow mustard no seeds
- ⅛ cup honey
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp paprika
For serving:
- 2 cucumbers sliced into sticks
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced into finger length sticks
- A handful cherry tomatoes quartered
Extras:Ketchup, BBQ sauce, thousand island sauce, regular mustard, garlic mayo
Instructions
- Lay out two shallow rimmed plates or bowls.
- Add eggs to one and whisk.
- To the next, add breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, black sesame, onion flakes, salt, and garlic powder. Mix to combine well.
- Add chicken to the eggs and toss to coat. Working a few at a time, dredge in seasoned breadcrumbs.
- *These freeze great. Place breaded chicken poppers onto a baking tray fitted with parchment and into the freezer for an hour or two, and then transfer to a ziplock bag. Pre-freezing keeps them from sticking to each other. When ready to eat fry directly from the freezer
- Heat up about 2 inches of oil in a pan. Taking care not to crowd the oil, add poppers and fry till golden, 2-3 minutes, then flip and fry the second side. Remove to a paper towel.
- For the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. (this can also be made in advance and kept in the fridge!)
