Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 (24-oz) bag frozen popcorn chicken
Sauce
- 1½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup hot sauce
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Prepare the frozen popcorn chicken according to the package directions, typically by baking or frying until golden and crispy.
- Make the sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine the brown sugar, hot sauce, water, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently and cook the sauce until the brown sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Toss chicken in sauce: Once the popcorn chicken is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the hot sweet and spicy sauce over the chicken and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
- Serve: Serve the boneless wings immediately with ranch or bleu cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- You can bake the popcorn chicken for a healthier alternative to frying.
- Serve with celery sticks for a traditional touch.
- The sauce can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before tossing with chicken.
