WHISKY ON THE POPS TENDERS INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 Pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into long medium cutlets 
• 3 Cups of lightly minced Eatable Whisky on the Pops Popcorn
• 2 Large Eggs
• ¼ Cup of Oil  
• ¼ Cup of Cornstarch 
• 1 Teaspoon of Salt 
• ¾ Teaspoon Paprika 
• ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper 

SWEET AND SMOKEY WHISKY DRIZZLE INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 Cup Brown Sugar 
• ½ Cup Jack Daniels Whiskey 
• ½ Cup Soy Sauce 
• ½ Cup Ketchup from Good Food For Good 
• ¼ Cup Honey from Drizzle 
• 1 Teaspoon of Liquid Smoke 
• 1 Tablespoon of Sriracha Hot Sauce 
• 1 Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar 
• 3-4 Cloves of Chopped Garlic 

 

STEP #1 – Gather all of your ingredients - corn starch, salt, paprika, black pepper, lightly minced popcorn and chicken

STEP #2 – Add your chicken to a large mixing bowl and add in your corn starch, salt, paprika and black pepper 

STEP #3 – Add your eggs to the meat mixture ensuring all sides of the chicken cutlets are covered thoroughly in eggs

STEP #4 – Roll and coat your chicken cutlets onto the lightly minced Whisky On The Pops popcorn ensuring all sides are covered generously

STEP #5 – Place your tenders on your air fryer basket or baking tray. Set the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and preheat for 5 minutes before putting your tenders in. Cook in medium sized batches for about 10-15 minutes. Flip once after 5-6 minutes to ensure even browning on both sides of tenders.

NOTE: (Do not skip flipping your tenders, if not flipped it could result in the popcorn burning on one side)

STEP #6 - Gather all of your ingredients – brown sugar, Jack Daniel’s, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, liquid smoke, sriracha hot sauce, apple cider vinegar and your chopped garlic

STEP #7 - Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl - your sauce is ready! If you'd like non-alcoholic version (we understand!), feel free to remove the whisky from the sauce, making this a perfect meal for the entire family. Our popcorn has virtually no alcohol content as it's cooked off in the cooking process.

STEP #8 – Remove tenders from the air fryer and let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool before serving

These Whisky Chicken Tenders are mouthwateringly simple to make, and they taste incredible too! Enjoy by yourself, with a special someone, or on your own.
