Moist and tender gluten free KFC-style popcorn chicken that will disappear quickly. So, be sure to make a large batch. Use one of the three suggested dipping sauces. Perfect for an everyday meal, party, picnic, and more.
Marinate the chicken in buttermilk overnight, or at least 2 hours. (This step is optional but tenderizes the chicken.) Drain and discard buttermilk. I like to allow them to drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet while I prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat deep-fryer to 375°F for crispy chicken or 340°F for a soft crust.
Follow the instructions to make the chicken at the above link, but omit the brining step.
Fry as instructed but for a shorter time, just until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes at 375°F or until golden brown and cooked thoroughly, depending upon the size of the chicken pieces.
Serve with any of the suggested sides in the above-linked recipe. Use honey mustard sauce or ketchup for dipping. You can even make an Asian version by using sweet red chili sauce for dipping.

Would these work in an air fryer?
Never used an air fryer. Sorry.
